Smelling alcohol off your breath

    Just wondering, say if you were drinking vodka and diet coke for example, would it be easy for a sober person to notice that you have been drinking?

    Also is chewing gum the best way to cover it up?

    ps. this is coming from over 18 year old, so you don't have to worry about encouraging any "illegal activity"

    Pro-tip

    The smell doesn't only come from the mouth. It comes from the esophagus and stomach too, so chewing gum or brushing teeth is pointless to hide the stink

    Yes, its a myth, if you have even a naggin with a mixer its entirely possible your breath will smell of alcohol to a sober person

    who doesn't like the smell of alcohol!:pac:

    yea they would. the smell comes from alcohol in the blood stream being exhaled through the lungs (not from the oesophagus or stomach). ethanol is volatile.
    chewing gum is the best cover up.

    If you want to know what your breath smells like lick your wrist, leave it for 30 seconds and smell it.

    Personally I think its only a myth that Vodka doesnt smell. Dont breathe into a sober persons place or speak to them. Whan I was pregger I wnet out most Saturday nights but obviously wasnt drinking and could smell the drink off peoples breath a mile of. Bear im mind I could be completely wrong as sense of smell can heighten when preggers.

    When my friends and I used to go knacker drinking when we were 16 we used to spray deodorant into our mouths before our parents would pick us up :confused: Drastic times called for drunken measures!

    I don't know about covering up drink, but by far the best way to cover up the smell of smokes was Monster Munch.

    What are you talking about?

    Everbody knows Vodka doesnt leave a smell :confused:

    I don't think chewing gum covers it up but I used to go out with a girl many years ago who worked in a choclate shop and she swore that chocolate absords smells and therefore is the best cover up.

    Works best for me.;)

    even if you only have one drink it can be smelled. cheesy doritos and lots of deodorant?

    If you leave vodka out overnight it goes bad

    Best drink it quick so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    A packet of cheese and onion crisps used to do the trick. Works well until you fall up the stairs.

    I like nothing more than getting hammered, leaving a bit in the glass so it's waiting for me in the morning for a nice refreshing gulp :rolleyes:

    How do you know that?

    just wanted to point out that following this advice has a good chance of killing you, and deodorants generally contain a fair amount of alcohol anyway! :confused:

    Sadly, it took me years, but I found out there's only one way to avoid the smell of alcohol from your breath - don't drink any!


  • Registered Users Posts: 654 ✭✭✭DS


    Just drink Hennigans. Afterwards you don't even smell. That's right folks. I just had three shots of Hennigans and I don't smell. Imagine, you can walk around drunk all day. That's Hennigans, the no-smell, no-tell, scotch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Tuck your shirt back in, zip up your fly, wipe your shoe and have a Kebab. Nobody will notice.

    Yeah sure the wee drunk one in the ad said it, must be true.

    Just smoke a lot to cover it up. OP, why do you need to know exactly?

    Well my 17 old cousin going into an under 18s disco where the bouncers smelt his breath, could smell that he was drinking. He was drinking beer to the best of my knowledge so he was wondering if he would be caught if he drank vodka
