Epilepsy was one of my first thoughts too, many who suffer observe the smell of burning toast before their seizures. That appears to have been ruled out. I would think/hope that the heart institute would have checked out the possible connection to blood pressure problems. But I'll research that and see if anyone mentions the smell. Thanks Yonuh!

I'm still leaning more towards some sort of reaction to sugar products in his digestive system...not diabetes, but it seems (to me) as if the alcohol smell would have to come from some level of fermentation going on; perhaps it overloads his system and he passes out. Surely they would have checked that out too.
