What to do when you see a recovering friend drinking?

I have a question:

What do you do if you see your recovering alcoholic friend drinking? I have been told by my friend that he is no longer sober, but I have yet to see this with my own eyes. My question is, what is the correct protocol when I see him drinking? Do I leave and say I do not approve, and potentially make him more angry/guilty/etc. or do I stay, essentially reinforcing that his behavior is okay because I tolerate it. He has expressed that he is concerned with this behaviour, and wants to be sober.

This is a really sticky situation for me, and I would really, really love some comments from people who have dealt with it.

Thanks!
