Why does the media still tell people that vodka doesn't stink to high heaven?
I watch a British soap called Emmerdale and like most of the soaps over here, people get into a mood over something, go out and get plastered and henceforth are full blown alcoholics the very next day. Many of them get better and go back to regular drinking. Don't they do any research for Gawd's sake? They regularly sneak glugs of voddie out of the washing machine all day(I actually used to do that) and walk around grinning in people's faces and no-one smells it. Sheesh!! I believed this myth at first, as I grinned at other mothers in the school playground, probably knocking them for six. I can smell vodka on people even if they've only had a couple - I mean it smells like nail varnish for starters as soon as you unscrew the bottle, so why do people still insist that it's odourless??? It's vile and absolutely honks!!!!!
Rant over! xxxxx

Perhaps our noses have become too sensitive. If my son cracks open a bottle of beer, I smell weed and he doesn't even touch that stuff. Seriously though, vodka is extremely smelly.

Kate, I went to a concert a couple weeks ago. I smelled weed in my vehicle for a couple days. I finally sprayed it with air fresh after my wife got in the car and asked what that smell was.
And nobody smoked it in my car. I won't even let people smoke cigarettes in my vehicle.

And another thing about TV, I also know that not everyone looks like that in real life.

Well of course any of us could smell vodka a mile away, lol, that would be like comparing an elephant to smelling water a mile away.
On a more serious note, i've read that it works better to mix it and then eat stuff. Eat exactly what I don't recall but specifics were given. But, it also said anymore than a couple will negate it because then it will be coming out of your pores. So, needless to say at one point in time it wasn't advisable for me to be around open flames or anyone smoking lol.
