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.

Would taking librium make you smell like alcohol?

Librium (chlordiazepoxide) is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and alcohol withdrawal symptoms, but it does not typically cause a person to smell like alcohol. However, if taken in conjunction with alcohol, it can amplify the effects of alcohol, potentially leading to a stronger odor. Individual body chemistry and the presence of other substances can also influence body odor, but Librium alone is not known to produce an alcohol-like smell.
