Alchol lowers our inhibitions. When I and others get drunk we act like nobody is watching. If Qrow was really hiding something that big from Ruby it would have slipped at one point or another. Well, "Drinks Alcohol" does not mean "Always so slammed you can't tell how many fingers you have". It's one thing to have alcohol running in your system. It's another thing to be drunk enough for In Vino Veritas to kick in.

Qrow drinks a lot, but it doesn't mean he drinks enough for that to happen. In Vino Veritas pretty much only happens when you're really drunk, that you are barely aware of where you are.
