How to not smell?

[Scaredy-cat]

Ok, so my mum is very strict and kind of over involved sometimes, much as I love her. And, also a bit paranoid, which I kind of get, so the minute Im not hungry she accuses me of being anorexic and if ive even had a tiny bit to drink she accuses me of being an alcoholic. She is part joking, but at the same time it wouldnt take much for her not to be.

She doesnt approve of me drinking hardly at all, like once a week one glass seems to her too much and she has a nose like a bloodhound so if I come home and ive had a few she often twigs. Ive managed to get out of it, but is there any way I can avoid smelling at all like pub?
Would make my life a whole lot easier. As it is me and my brother hide the booze we have

Thanks

Mints, breath freshener, perfume, body spray, fabreeze? A few things to cover up the smell.

I think it would probably be much healthier to have a discussion with your mum and explain that you like to socialise at the pub occasionally and have a few drinks and that you are old enough to do so legally and it's quite normal at your age and she cant stop you.

Hiding things from her isn't ideal and only likely to lead to more problems in the long term if she finds out you've been lying.

Not really. I know my mum

Drink non-alcoholic drinks.

What about staying at someone's house on the night you drink so you don't have to see her?
