Most people who have had one drink, whether beer, vodka, wine, or something else, will smell like alcohol. The police can smell alcohol on your breath or in your clothing. If the officer says, "I smell alcohol," say nothing. Do not admit to drinking alcohol when an officer pulls you over, but do not lie either. You can remain silent or ask them a question. The best one to ask is, “When will I be free to leave?" Officers do not like to be asked questions. They do not like you taking them off their script. Anything you can do to disorient them from their script is in your best interest.
