My wife did this. She would bring home the bottles, pour them into water jugs and hide the empty booze bottles so I couldn't tell she was drinking.
My suggestion would be to acknowledge his stress. Suggest healthy things you can do together to relieve stress (exercise, meditation, etc...). So long as he views this as his sole means of stress relief it will be hard for him to stop. They get used to their relief and over time their sense deaden to the drinking until they drink more and more to numb the pain.
