While you can’t sweat off a hangover, you do unfortunately sweat out some of the alcohol that you consume. As alcohol makes its way through your blood and the body, it tends to seep out of the pores. It doesn’t matter what you’re drinking, once the body breaks it down, it all smells the same.

Related: many people who drink too much (we mean in the problem category, not social/occasional drinkers) tend to not have the best personal hygiene routines. This can also contribute to body odor.
