OT~Alcohol smell coming thru pores?

[JohnH]

Okay, question...this man I work with sweats profusely all day and I really thought it was because
he is overweight.

He smells awful but not dirty, his clothes are clean and he looks hygenic but I think
its his pores sweating alcohol? He pounds water all day. He's a dj at night and a really nice man but was wondering
if it could be the case why he smells that way, its a real turn off

Having played gigs for 20 years now including 8 years on cruise ships, Ive been around tons of drunk people...and Im pretty sure it can come out of your pores. There's probably some stuff on the net about it. Seems like some of these people- it's not just on their breath but coming out of their body. Especially women, its been proven they don't have as much of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol as men do. (Saw a great report on Dateline NBC- that proved the women were drunker after three beers then men- and it was becuase of the enzyme- not just because they tend to weigh less or other such factors- fascinating. Because of this, the alcohol also damages a woman's body more than a man.)

He might be uncircumcized,and the stench you speak could be smegma

If you're smelling this at work, better check his thermos and his desk drawer. Does he guzzle water all day? Maybe he's just an alcoholic.

Yeah good point, but also, Liz, Vodka is the alcoholics drink of choice- it gives off no odor.

until it goes thru the bodily process - and those aren't pretty!
