Hi, and I'm sorry you are going through this. I would take the advice to go to Alanon a/o counselor. It takes time, but eventually I hope you find peace in not looking for the booze. My husband does the same at times. He comes home from work and can be lit within an hour. He also works a lot of hours which probably allows it to happen quicker. I don't search anymore, and we are not staying together. I used to search, take pictures, mark bottles. It drives you crazy I flat out told him that it's his right to drink, but I'd like him to stop for the kids' sake and for his.

Beer and whiskey smell different. I can only smell the vodka here and there, and when I was pregnant and my senses were so sensitive is when I smelled it. Could he be drinking mouthwash or rubbing alcohol? People do do that
