Beer smell is now sickening to me
Last night a customer came up to me to say something and his pint of Estrella was right under my nose.
I used to love Estrella, could easily sink ten pints in an evening. But last night the smell turned my stomach. Even though he had only had one pint before that one his breath still reeked of it.
It just smells sour and rotten. I must have smelled like a barmaid's apron 100% of the time!

Bad breath from booze (any kind) is an intimacy/ relationship killer. I absolutely hate it. Cigarettes are too. My partner went through chemo and radiation in the past year and I could not stand his breath. I never told him that, along with his continued use of alcohol. It would seem to have been cruel to let him know but I never wanted to hurt his feelings. Just being honest here. Maybe I'm getting old but I cannot tolerate these smells any longer. Everyone needs to brush their teeth twice a day. floss, be mindful of your personal hygiene. We partners go for that!!!
Everyone is different, has different triggers, and different levels of triggering. I had a few cases of wine left in the house when I got back from rehab, I still have some left. Just not a temptation.
Vodka is though. I don't think I'll ever have hard liquor in my house, unless I buy it for a party, open it for guests, and send any remainder home with someone or immediately pour it out. Sounds like too much trouble tho. Nobody needs a cocktail that badly, and if they do, I'll drop them off at a treatment center!
If you think it's a trigger, don't even try to serve wine and beer! Not worth it. I only knew because it was already there. I had plans to drive it all over to someone else's house but that didn't happen for a few days and I realized in the meantime that I was over it.
I guess it's an individual thing. I am fine now being around beer, wine, and hard liquor. I get a little squirrely if someone is drinking a mixed drink that I used to enjoy. But I think I just need more time. If wine and beer now smell sour and putrid to me, I'm sure I'll get there with mixed drinks. I don't keep alcohol in my home. I don't feel comfortable serving it, either. But it's interesting to hear everyone's own comfort level.
