When a person smells of alcohol, it is usually due to the presence of ethanol in their bloodstream. Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks, and it can be detected on a person's breath as it is exhaled through the lungs. Alcohol can also be excreted through sweat, contributing to the odor.
