Does Irritability And Confusion Indicate Drunkenness Despite Lack Of Smell?
My boyfriend had stopped drinking for a few months, yesterday he went to a funeral and admitted that he was drinking again. This afternoon when I got home he was acting like he had been drinking, but I could not smell anything, find anything and he was arguing with me, was confused. What shall I do?

Cannot say in his particular case. Brain damage from alcohol, withdrawal from alcohol and alcohol intoxication all cause lowered brain function that is shown as irritability and confusion.
