Alcohol in its purest form may not smell, however with the ingredients that are added to produce our modern day drinkable alcohol it does smell. As a former bartender I can usually tell you what type of alcohol, and even in some cases the brand name, is in a glass just by the smell of it. Also, 3-4 drinks in a short period of time can put you over the legal limit of .08. It also doesn't matter if they were driving or not if they were over the legal limit. In the state of Alaska it is illegal to be in a public place if you are intoxicated, over .08.
I know many people who can tell the difference between the odor of someone who is seeping alcohol through their pores and someone who happens to have an unpleasant body odor, they are very distinct and different smells.
