That’s not true at all! If people are drinking vodka, I can smell it as soon as I walk in the room.

Its hard to detect it on the breath, but when you sweat it ooooooozes out of your pores and is quite obvious!

Not true at all – but it does smell less than others

No! That's like someone telling you when you first start driving that the stop signs with white borders "don't count"

No thats not true and your going to get alot more drunk drinking vodka and your mother will sure notice that. Im 47 and they said the same thing when iwas young and its bullshit
matt_of_asia says
very not true.
i can smell alcolhol on someones breath quite easily.
dont drink alone- thats the ticket to alcolholism.
you may have some issues you need to address. if you are underage thats one issue. if you are drinking daily or every weekend thats a big problem you need to look at. if you are losing friends due to your drinking thats a very very big sign of trouble.

Don't believe it!!!!! You can smell it on someone's breath, if they drink a lot of vodka. If you're next to them the next day, you can smell the vodka coming through their pores. Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it's sounds nasty but it's true. Just ask a Navy guy.

It's not that detectable until the next day and then your breath will smell like a sewer.

It is true that VODKA has no distinct odour. However, the ALCOHOL in the vodka has a distinct aroma so, while your parents will not smell the strong flavour of beer, they may still smell alcohol. Mouthwash also contains a large proportion of alcohol to kill bacteria, although it is usually flavoured with mint or other scents. If you drink vodka and then chew gum, you will find it has a similar flavour and smeel to regular mouthwash (and can actually have much the same effect in curing halitosis – though much more expensive).

NO! Are you sure that you are not an Alcoholic. Look at the Question itself! Trying to drink and hide it is a sure sign of Alcoholism and/or underage drinking. Get help now before its too late!!!!!

They can tell it from their behavior and demeanor and any breathalyzer, though.
A local accident just happened after a party, where a car of 3 people topped out over 100 mph and slammed into a tree — they were engulfed in a fireball inside the upside down car.
Why would anyone drink???
