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.

It always gets worse if you're an addict.  At the end I had started to graduate from regular pints to 100-proof pints.  I could have drank more than a pint per night, but I didn't *buy* more than a pint per night as a way to limit myself.  Except those days when I would drink early, pass out, wake up and drive drunk to go buy more.  Glad I snapped out of that life
