I think that I'd first wait until we were out of the van and away from the public's ears. I would then, point blank, let the captain know that I smell alcohol, and that I believe that (s)he is under the influence of alcohol. I would vehemently suggest that (s)he pull him/herself off of duty immediately, before we even get into the building.

If (s)he refuses to do so, I would let them know that I have an obligation to my company, our passengers and above all, myself, to not allow him/her to attempt to fly the airplane in this condition. I'd also let him/her know that if (s)he didn't pull him/herself off of the flight, that I would have no choice but to go to the chief pilot and let them know what was going on.

Either way, I'd would give the other pilot ample opprtunity to do the right thing...
