only your friend can decide if he has a problem but what you can do is share the story with him about your grandfather. you can also attend alanon meetings to share with others the conflict you are having. that won't change his way of thinking but it might help you.
it sounds like you're a good friend and i thinnk it shows wisdom that you've benefitted by your mom's telling you about your grandfather's drinking. you can also pray for your friend. if he shows an interest in what you are sharing about his drinking, offer to attend a 12 step program of recovery with him (aa) to be a supportive friend.
