A couple of weeks ago, I was riding with a collegue to work and he remarked that I reeked of whiskey. No big deal since I know him and he knows me so no embarrassment there. But I spent the rest of the day avoiding all the usual people like my boss.
The next week, somebody else pointendly asked (for everyone else within earshot to wonder) if somebody in the room had been drinking. She then shot me a withering glare.
Last Sunday, I was sitting in church minding my own business when some guy behind me made some comment about over indulging in holy wine never mind the fact that they don't serve that stuff in my church. And if they did, I assure you, I would probably sneak in a small thermos flask of 40 proof to "fortify" said wine.
Long story short, I have come to the realisation that while it never used to be the case, I seem to be retaining the smell of alcohol longer than most people. Sometimes I can still taste it in my mouth more than 24 hours after I wake up with a blinding hangover.
I of course brush my teeth and take a shower every morning but it does not seem to help. A pal told me that it may not necessarily be my breath but that the stuff is actually oozing through my skin.
So without lecturing me on the vices of drinking, how do I rid myself of the foul odors of the spirits that I sometimes ingest?
