Why do you smell like alcohol and dont drink?
Because your body can make a chemical that smells like alcohol.
A number of recovering alcoholics lie. Many lie. That is why a 12 step program like AA is good. Others who went through the program know what it is like. They can see through the lies.

What is a functioning drug addict?
A functioning addict or alcoholic is someone who manages to keep their life together -- on a superficial level, at least -- despite their addiction.
A functioning addict holds down a job, pays their rent, etc., but spends every free minute they have drinking or doing drugs. On the surface, their life appears to be in order, but in reality, they are just scraping by. They might show up for work every day, but they still spend every night drinking until they pass out. Or, they snort small amounts of cocaine all day long, so, even though they appear to be sober, they are actually on drugs 24/7.
The memoir Drinking: A Love Story, by Caroline Knapp, is an excellent account of a functioning alcoholic's life.

DTs (delirium tremens) are a medical condition (psychotic break with reality) requiring immediate medical supervision by people trained in their management.

Usually DTs will disappear temporarily with the intake of more alcohol, but alcoholics at the level of DTs are so far along that their best defense is a total detox under medical supervision and then complete cessation of drinking.
DTs are a sign of extremely advanced addiction, and quitting before further damage is done is imperative.
Does gin kill more brain cells?
Kill more brain cells than what?
Alcohol causes a slow degeneration of brain cells that results in eventual cell death with chronic use. Short-term use, in moderate quantities, kills none at all. (High levels of alcohol can result in alcohol poisoning, which can easily kill every cell in your body.)
Gin has no greater effect than any other alcoholic beverage, except that it will give you a worse hangover than most.
If you are asking about gin v. marijuana, we'd have to say marijuana, since smoking it introduces many more chemicals into the body, including carbon monoxide, but we wouldn't expect brain cell death to be an issue there, either. Certainly not with moderate use.
