Does your AH have an odor? Not like alcohol but a pungent smell that no shower takes away? Its just his odor. I was grocery shopping the other day and smelled the same odor. I turned to a man. I assumed he was also an alcoholic. I was just wondering if any of you have noticed the same thing? And could it be his kidneys failing? or just an odor from his excessive drinking?

Bonblue is right- it's the alcohol coming out of their pores. Disgusting. I too have noticed that smell on strangers.

Yes, one of the reasons I have my own room

Yes, agree. The "withdrawal bed" as I call it wreaks of it. I plan to send that bed with him when he gets his things.
