Why would I do that? I have no obscene problem with alcohol. I just enjoy drinking gin while playing video games.

But you knew you were going to have this problem, and that you were going to go out with family, right? It seems like you would have forgone drinking today knowing that you'll be with family.
 
Stop drinking
Shower
Change clothes
Brush Teeth, chew some gum
Hydrate

Wait a few hours (you still have those, right?)

Shower again
Change clothes again
Brush teeth again
Chew gum

DON'T CHANGE BACK INTO YOUR OLD CLOTHES FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY.
 
You really can't, the same way you cannot cheat a breathalyzer. To a degree, the smell is being cranked out from your lungs while you have alcohol in your blood stream. This cannot be mitigated entirely without letting it be metabolized. You can shower, change clothes, brush your teeth, whatever, but that's superficial. As long as there's alcohol in your blood stream you can't escape it.
 
If brushing your teeth and gum didn't work.....maybe a shower and a change of clothes?

Maybe it's not just the breath.

I woulda but I want to go shopping and whatever food we get is going to be better than what I have in the fridge right now.

Could I stop drinking an hour before meeting them and be ok instead of stopping 90 minutes before?

Well depends really. How far is the drive to meet them?

You're over 21, right? Just tell them you had a single cocktail. It's not a big deal, you're an adult. Keep your cool and I'm sure they won't know any better. Maybe another drink or two before meeting up with them will help you get rid of the anxiety.
 
So drinking all morning despite known plans, ashamed of drinking, trying to hide it from family, still trying to drink as long as possible.

Yeah, all good.

I'm guessing you are about to hang out with people who think you might have a drinking problem.

They're picking me up from my place in 3 hours from now so I figure I have time for another couple shots.

I read online that having a spoon of peanut butter after a shot helps. Anyone know if this ia a myth?

nah, but sticking a straw into the tip of your penis can drain the alcohol out. that may help.

I want to take more shots but I definitely want to cover it up. I think I've had enough so it would smell like more than a cocktail so I need a good method to hide as much as possible to allow me to drink more safely
 
OP you can't keep bypassing everyone's questions about the drinking, whilst asking for advice about to how to mask the smell, whilst you continue drinking.

There's a bigger issue here you need to deal with.

LOL, it gets harder and harder to cover alcohol breath/smell the more you keep drinking.
 
internetwolf said:
thank you


now about the garlic, I have like a few cloves I've eaten one before for fun and it was pretty intense, could I fry it up first then eat it or will it not have the same effect?

Drinking in the morning is what alcoholics do but whatever you're not one because you aren't.
 
Drink whatever you want, it's your life...

Shower/change clothes/brush teeth the shit you'd normally do before hitting the town. Maybe pop a mint or some gum, otherwise you'll be fine.

Morning drinks are quite common actually, hair of the dog and all that...

You people act like Bloody Marys' and Mimosa's aren't a thing
 
I'm not in a position to judge anyone's drinking but who drinks shots of gin, in the morning no less. A few cheeky beers early afrernoon or a shot of whisky sure.

People with these problems are masters of denial. OP sounds like my uncle who almost drank himself to death but totally no worries, right.

It's a myth, but if you drain two or more pints of blood, you'll reduce the amount of alcohol present in your system. My recommendation would be to find a vampire, preferably one matching your sexual preferences, to partner up with.

On topic: You have a drinking problem.

Breh I hate to say it but ur best bet rn is to just start sobering up

Have a nice meal and maybe take a nap. Lots of water.

seriously

normally i don't chime in on these things but as an alcoholic myself, you've got a problem. and not just judging by this thread but from others as well. i won't preach but i hope you get your shit straightened out
 
To sidestep all the red flags being thrown down, peppermint oil will mask just about any smell. You can get it at most stores, I think. If you don't mind smelling like Christmas candy, anyway.
