First, if you are planning on talking with your loved one about their drinking, avoid approaching them while they are under the influence of alcohol. Talking to someone who is under the influence of alcohol will seldom result in a positive outcome. Instead, try approaching the person you love at a time when they are sober. Rather than starting with an accusation, you could try approaching this conversation using "I" statements: "I am sad when I see you engage in hazardous drinking."
