Which alcohol doesn't smell after drinking?

Alcohol doesn't have any smell. It's the hops, barley and other "stuff" that you can smell on your breath. The answer is to drink a clear spirit (or white spirit! - perhaps not) such as vodka.

THE BODY BEAUTIFUL

What is the best way to get rid of the smell of alcohol on one's breath after a heavy night's boozing? Michael Marshall, Nagoya, Japan Alcohol doesn't have any smell. It's the hops, barley and other "stuff" that you can smell on your breath. The answer is to drink a clear spirit (or white spirit! - perhaps not) such as vodka. John De-Hayes, Loughborough, UK Wait. Or, better, stop drinking... Christian Richard, London Curry for breakfast. Fergus McGee, Dublin, Ireland I must disagree with John De-Hayes reply. Alcohol does have it's own particular smell and if enough has been imbibed the ethanol can be smelt on the breath the next day. This usually requires a fair bit to be taken and can only be masked by stronger smelling things eg strong mints, and yes, probably curry for breakfast. True connosieurs, as John De-Hayes suggests, could probably tell the exact nature of the source of the ethanol. Stuart Young, Penrith, UK Chew garlic. Mark McDonnell, Manchester, UK Put a clothes-peg on your nose. Matt Harris, Recife, Brazil The brother of a friend of mine who is, sadly, an alcoholic, told me that the best way is to dip your finger in aftershave and run it across your top lip. Better than drinking it, I suppose... Stephen Buckland, Kingston upon Thames UK Drink vinegar: malt vinegar, cider vinegar, or rice vinegar. John, Spokane, USA A spoon full of peanut butter works very well for about a half hour window,so keep it with you! Keith, Virginia, United States COUGH DROPS and Cafe works for me...at least for TOMORROW...hopefully so... Anthony, Lorton Virginia USA A heavy night’s boozing means passing out almost one whole night at night club or party. It means receiving of mental pleasure at the cost of physical hazard and hard-earned money. After only mental satisfaction one thinks of a petty matter, i.e., how to get rid of the smell of alcohol on one’s breath. Friend, change your habit completely by being a teetotaller. In this process, you not only ensure some savings, but also keep your internal organs intact. Moreover, you may pass some precious time with your children and wife. Biswanath Bhattacharjee, Bhadreshwar, Hooghly, West Bengal, India India

Will a juice cleanse make me poop?

Whatever your body doesn't absorb from the juices during a cleanse passes into your large intestine, where it is fermented by bacteria. The result is a laxative effect, which some people claim makes them feel lighter and believe is a sign they're eliminating toxins.

It's tempting to look for a quick fix like a juice cleanse to help you lose weight or jump start healthier eating habits.

Do juice cleanses really help you lose weight?

It's true that you’re likely to lose weight on a juice cleanse, but this is simply because you’re consuming fewer calories. Unfortunately, once you finish a cleanse and resume eating normal meals, you will regain the weight.

Ok, but do juice cleanses eliminate toxins?

Whatever your body doesn’t absorb from the juices during a cleanse passes into your large intestine, where it is fermented by bacteria. The result is a laxative effect, which some people claim makes them feel lighter and believe is a sign they’re eliminating toxins. Unfortunately, consuming fruit and vegetable juice alone means you're missing out on other key nutrients that are essential for the body. The bottom line is that there is no scientific evidence that a juice diet or cleanse removes toxins from your body.

So, are juice cleanses healthy?

Instead of spending money on an expensive juicer, try cleansing your body and mind in a healthier way: keep a food journal for a few days. Writing down everything you eat and drink and rating your hunger and fullness helps you be more aware of whether you’re appropriately fueling your body. A log also helps you identify reasons you might be turning to food even when you’re not physically hungry, and it allows you to make healthier choices more easily. Curious about what other food myths are out there? Here are a couple more we’ve debunked to help you live healthier.
