I like to think some of the members of the group who are closer to him could approach him, after doing a little research to get specific referral information, and talk to him when he is sober and likely to be more receptive. I think that communicates most effectively that you honestly care about this guy's health as a top priority.

On the other hand, I think you can come down hard from a risk management perspective from within the group with the help of advisors and executive council if the guy won't seek help or won't stop acting this way.

First, you obviously want to protect him but you do have an obligation to protect group members and their guest from his behavior. His behavior, even if he doesn't actually attack any other people, IS harmful to the group. It's going to be hard to be a happy, healthy member of a group if at every party a member can be relied on to get excessively drunk and do harm to himself. It's a group problem too.
