How to navigate addiction concerns within a close friend group

Our friend group has been tight since college but one person's drinking has gotten really concerning and we're all dancing around it in different ways - some of us enabling, some of us pulling back, none of us talking directly. It's starting to fracture the whole group and I don't know if we're helping or hurting by staying quiet.
