This is a tricky one. You shouldn't abandon your friend, but you shouldn't "enable" them either. "Enabling" is making it possible to keep drinking. Ways people enable Alcoholism include pitying them, telling them you'll take care of them, etc. You can't pretend "everything will be all right," because it won't.
Your friend deserves to know that you're angry, that you almost chose not to visit, and that their behavior hurts you. Your friend also deserves to know that you do care -- or you wouldn't be angry. The next step is up to your friend. S/he is clearly not in control of their drinking, and that means they need help. Alcoholics Anonymous has a very good track record, so it would be a good place to start. But your friend has to do it; you can't do it for them. A hospital counselor may be able to help you make the best of your visit, if you choose to go.
It's very important for you to take care of yourself. Your alcoholic friend can't. If this is a close friend, you might want to check out AlAnon -- it's for people who are being hurt by the alcohol addiction of a close friend or relative. Good luck!
