three years ago, I had to put my ex-husband into a rehab... turned out he was drinking all night and then countering the effects with prescription drugs during the day...
I didn't even know that he was that bad (I didn't live with him anymore), but his brother and the neighbors of his late parents were apparently getting drunk phone calls at all hours of the night which led to the intervention. I got none of these calls as the calls I received were during the day and they were "normal"- though I found him very annoying (not unusual after divorce when you share a child!).
So, yes, I would say that alcoholics have many ways to hide their drinking and may appear sober at times...
