I wouldn't say anything to them, and do remember they are still your parents regardless of what they did and how you feel about it. Just play it cool. Ask God to help you.

If you feel comfortable doing it, and you can maintain emotional control throughout (i.e. not start getting angry), I actually think it might be a good idea to speak to them (very respectfully) about it. Use wording like "It hurts me to see you guys getting drunk, because I love you very much and I know it's not good for you." Make it about your feelings about it, avoiding an attacking tone. If you do start getting angry, end the conversation as respectfully and as soon as possible. Go for a walk or something to cool off. It's so tough dealing with parents in things like this...we all love our parents very much, even if they frustrate us or anger us. A few things to keep in mind as you go through this time and as you speak to your parents...
