How to Cure Alcohol Breath

Steps
1. Distract others from your breath. While it is hard to hide your alcohol breath, there are certain smells that override alcohol (even if you are bombed and still drunk). Halls cough drops (preferably the Menthol kind). Pop those babies like they are going out of style. They tend to override the smell but make sure they are in your mouth at all times. If anyone is suspicious just tell them you have a cold--- they will likely want to stay away from your breath anyway to avoid getting sick. With the cough drops in mind, put on heavy amounts of cologne (preferably the cheap stuff). You will stink, smell like you are cheap, people will think you are sick but most importantly--- it will mask your intoxication or alcohol breath.
1. Avoid mixing drinks. Find a drink you like, and stick with it. Its difficult to remove the smell from your breath if you've been drinking vodka, gin, beer, wine, and whiskey all night. And even if you do succeed at hiding the smell, you won't be able to hide the sound of your body crashing up or down the stairwell or hallway... and thats not good. Sticking with something clear in a mixed drink form would be the best thing, like vodka tonic or vodka cranberry. Whiskey and other colored alcohol tend to be very aromatic. Beer tends to make you burp and no matter how much gum or food you eat, if you're burping, traces of alcohol scent are bound to show up.
2. Eat aromatic foods. Foods that are strong in flavor and smell are always good, not to mention food has a sobering effect. Anything with garlic and or onion is effective, and spicy foods are a must also. If you can mix and match all three of these its a winning combo. Potato chips and peanut butter are also good. After eating extremely smelly food, have a few pieces of gum, and drink something with a little sugar and caffeine, like Coke, as to wash everything down and maybe help out your already intoxicated state. Then wait a few before going home.
3. Try coffee It is strongly scented and may help with the smell of alcohol.
4. Chew gum. Gum can be helpful, but can also hurt the process by showing that you're trying to hide your drinking by adding a strong minty or fruity smell to the alcohol on your breath, and sometimes can even intensify it. So, you will want to use gum in addition to the other steps. Always have some on you. The strong sugar-free dental gum is the best, with flavors like peppermint and "ice". The more burn, the better. There are products like "Breath Assure" that work from a stomach level which is good, but how many of us tend to have something like that stumbling home wasted after an all-nighter?
5. Brush your teeth. After eating aromatic food and chewing gum (there is no real order in which to take these steps) brush your teeth. Use mouthwash also, brands such as "Listerine" are highly reccomended. Tongue scrapers can be useful, though not as widely used as mouthwash.
6. Find a safe place to go. If you're in a situation where you are absolutely not allowed to drink, it would be best to try and crash at a friend's house or someone you know well to avoid all conflict. Drinking too much in general is highly discouraged if you've already been in trouble in the past, which is quite possible if you are reading this article. If you are under the age of 21 and trying to hide your problem from your parents, don't ruin your life. You have plenty of time to drink and party, now is the time to plan for your future so that when you are finally out on your own, you're not continuing a cycle of self-abuse and addiction. You don't want to end up pushing a shopping cart wearing headphones and talking to yourself.
Tips
* NOTE: Even if you stay the night somewhere else and wake up thinking your alcohol breath is gone, think again. Alcohol breath can last well into the next day depending on how much you consume. Ask a trusty friend to check your breath (not the one passed out with "divorce" written on his forehead in permanent marker) before going home.
* Don't over-do it. The more you drink, the harder it is to get rid of the smell, theres a point when alcohol begins to seep out of the pores.
* Learn how to drink. If you get in trouble for drinking, then there is obviously something wrong. Learn how to drink so you don't have to hide it, or don't drink at all.
Warnings
* Note: These suggestions will NOT work for a breathalyzer test. Never drive under the influence or think you can fool a cop with mouthwash and garlic pizza.
* Seek addiction help. If you are at the point where you have to hide the smell of alcohol on your breath, there may be a problem. Learn how to handle your drinks or seek the help of addiction programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, research online, or contact a doctor. If you have alcoholism/addiction in your family it is best to stay away from addictive substances.
