well, i’m not sure; but i do know the reason crap smells is partly due to bile in it. since alcohol is processed by the liver, it might affect what’s in the bile.

Additionally, beer has a lot of yeast. If your body doesn’t tollerate yeast (doesn’t break it down easily) that might account for some yeasty farts.
