Yes, and in my experience the quantity consumed goes up.  

Close to the end of my drinking career I could drink two 750ml bottles of wine before work, a few drinks during the shift, and a pint of hard alcohol plus fancy beers afterwards.  

Relying on other people to notice my alcohol consumption was a mistake, and I learned that drinking until quantities were undeniably problematic is a sad exercise.

Before I quit drinking I was drinking like 25 beers after work, wake up at 4am and drink 10 to fight off the effects of a hangover, go work construction and sweat it all out. Rinse and repeat. It was pretty bad for a few months before I stopped. And the saddest part is that it the cycle happens again and again and I don’t learn. Go sober for a year or two and convince myself I can be a social drinker. It works out for 6 months until my tolerance builds up again and I slowly descend into madness.
