Alcohol can remain in your system for up to a day after you stop drinking, depending on how much you drank and various physical issues. While it is there, a small amount will be excreted in urine, saliva and sweat. Even after all the alcohol is gone, some metabolites will continue to be excreted. All of these may contribute to the smell.

Showering and a change of clothes will minimize the problem. For a total resolution, cut down your drinking to a couple of drinks a night -- if you can. If you can't do that, you have more problems than body odor.

-alcohol consumption -mouthwash -diabetic ketoacidosis. Not so much an alcohol smell, but a fruity smell as the body releases ketones to rid itself of severely high blood sugar. A person in this situation may appear to be intoxicated on alcohol because of the hyperglycemia. Blood tests would demonstrate a high blood sugar reading instead of a high blood alcohol level. This is a dangerous condition requiring hospitalization.
