Sometimes, like yesterday, my sweat (especially around hair) smelled almost 100% like alcohol! i never drunk alcohol in my life. what could tihs be?

Check the diet: 26 year old male with alcohol smelling sweat at hair follicles since he does not drink, most likely from food like garlic, onions, curry, caffeine, or even tobacco. may also be aggravated by vigorous exercises.
