I have someone I talk to weekly, sometimes multiple times but only see every few months. I believe they have a problem with alcohol. Should I mind my own business or mention something? I know they are in denial and will probably just get PO'd at me. I have had experience with being high buut never acted in destructive ways or had trouble quiting.

In a perfect world, people would listen to our concerns for their health, and act upon them immediately. However, life isn't perfect.
I'm a carbohydrate addict. Many had approached me regarding my weight for years. Among them, the person I most loved and respected: my Dad.
It wasn't until my health became an issue that I woke up and stopped the abuse. I've dedicated my new heathy lifestyle to my Dad, but mostly to myself.
I say approach your friend about the drinking, but don't expect miracles. There may be resentment, denial, possibly the end of the friendship. But the memory of your loving words will always be there.

In Your Situation With Only Seeing Your Friend Every Few Months I Wouldn't Say Anything Because You Are Not Directly Involved Closely Enough With Them To Actually Know Exactly. I Have A Friend That I See On A Weekly Basis And When He Started To Get Hateful & Mean While Drinking I Had A Talk With Him, Come To Find Out, His Moods Were Being Affected By A Prescription Medication From His Doctor Altering His Behavior~

Yes, you should tell your friend that you are concerned. It probably won't change anything, and it may make them upset, but it's still the right thing to do.
