Absorption through the skin is extremely limited, although it could add to the blood alcohol content. It would still be detected by the Breathalyzer because it measures alcohol leaving the bloodstream in the lungs.

What do you do when someone passes out from drinking alcohol?

First of all, roll them on their side. It is possible for them to vomit in their sleep, and if they're on their back they stand a chance of death from drowning in their own vomit. Second, they need to be monitered. Too much alcohol and the individual could stop breathing. If their breath is very shallow and hard to detect, call 911 and have an ambulance take them to the hospital. If their pulse is strong and their breath regular and easy to detect, then leave them be but don't leave them alone.
