Wow this makes me think. Very occasionally (I mean it's only happened a few times) I suddenly get a whiff of alcohol, even though I can't actually smell it, it's there in my nose. And it just comes out of nowhere, I'm not necessarily thinking of anything, but as soon as I smell it I think of my mother when she was drunk. I always just thought it was me smelling something 'wrong' so it seems to smell like alcohol.

Did ANY of that make remote sense?
