Yup. There are two separate things to consider when drinking: The dopamine-reward sensation - and the intoxication itself.

Blood alcohol rises and it feels great. You get a rush of awesomeness. But that is short-lived and all that is left is the sloppy intoxication which will take hours to go away. The best way to explain it is when you day-drink and then try to sober up by evening. It's only ever fun when blood alcohol is rising. Once blood alcohol begins to fall, it's just a shitty unwelcome experience.
