I agree with Upsetand need help---he is probably hiding it from you. alcoholics lie and hide their drinking--that is just what they do. It is not to hurt you--it is n ot even about you. They have to do that to quiet the screaming in their brain and body for alcohol--otherwise, they go into withdrawl.
It is not wise to confront them on the hiding of their drinking--or, aaccuse them of lying. this just serves to make matters worse--and, makes them more angry at you.
Just keep reading those stickies...LOL.
