Just my 2 cents:
* In general, you shouldn't use boldface in printed documents (unless
you have a good reason. A /very/ good, thought out reason. And
usually you haven't one;).).
* In presentations, things are indeed quite different.
* Keeping that in mind, \alert{...} is /better/ than \textbf{...}, just
like \emph{...} is better than \textit{...}: it is semantic, not
visual markup.
* If you do insist on boldface as "alerting", just say
\setbeamerfont{alerted text}{series=\bfseries}
in your preamble. Keep in mind, however, that this will break things
if you use alert<...>{...}. Take this document, for instance:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
This is \alert{alerted} text.
And this is \alert<2>{alerted} only on the second slide.
\end{frame}
\end{document}
In it, text will "wobble" when changing slides. This is ugly.
* So, what you probably want, is to say
\setbeamercolor{alerted text}{fg=red!50!black}
in your preamble, so \alert{...} means a color in the midpoint (in RGB
linear space) between red and black (you might want to experiment with
percentages other than 50% or wholly different colors, of course).
