People change. It may be no more than that.

However, there's a red flag here, which is that she is changing after having gotten into a life of "drinking and sex". It's possible that there are drugs besides alcohol involved. If her personality changes have been sudden and seem unpredictable, she may be involved in more than you realize.

I suggest you try the straight approach. Ask her to get together with you alone sometime, nothing ominous or earth-shattering, just a lunch between friends. Tell her that you feel she's slipping away from you and that you value your friendship too much to let that happen. Don't blame anyone for it, especially not the new boyfriend; just tell her that you feel it's happening. She may not even realize it.

Stick with her, if you can. This may be just a phase, but it could also be the point at which her life begins to fall apart, and you don't want to be looking back at this years from now and thinking, "If only I'd done more."
