I am a recovering alcoholic (10 years). The other day, my boss said I was emitting a smell of alcohol from my body. She didn't think I was drinking but was worried I may have liver damage. I am a diabetic but I do a good job of keeping my blood sugar under control. I had a full work-up two months ago and everything was fine, including my liver. Ketoacidosis shouldn't be a factor because I rarely have high blood sugar and it's never continuous. Is there anything else that could cause the smell of alcohol?
