Because your body can make a chemical that smells like alcohol.

i don`t know i have never smelled or drink alcohol but i think it smells bad!
Well, the small intestine absorbs most of the alcohol but it is also affected by other factors. The metabolism of alcohol happens mostly in the liver, but goes throughout the body, but the non-metabolized alcohol is secreted by the kidneys and by the sweat glands, which is what makes the smell.
I think that we drink to much alcohol and our brains can handle drinking to much.
Isopropyl alcohol has a rather strong alcohol smell. If you were to smell regular alcohol and smell 70% Isopropyl alcohol you would have the same smell. However, there is no general way to explain it other than a strong bitter and sometimes sweet smell. It depends on solely your olfactory membranes. Smell's are after all different to everyone.
The way alcohol is detectable on breath is because air in the lungs is absorbing alcohol from the bloodstream, therefore there is no way to beat a breathalyzer. If you mean is there alcohol that cannot be "smelled" then yes because there are flavored drinks that you wouldn't be able to smell the alcohol.
For a person to be under the influence they would either have to fail a field sobriety test by a police officer or register over the legal limit of blood alcohol content. As far as I know neither of those would ever happen from the mere smell of alcohol.
