my dentist friend tried doing infiltration anesthesia on several patients who drank alcohol the day before, some of them worked, some of them did not.

Yes the dentist smells the ethers coming from the patients mouth and can't stop thinking.
"this guys an alcoholic, this guys an alcoholic, this guys an alcoholic. . ."
Or maybe
"alcohol. cool can't wait to put them out then I'll see where she has the wisky hidden.

Yes drinking alcohol does have a direct relation between how effective anesthesia can be. A person that abuses alcohol has a decreased liver function which metabolizes the anesth. If the liver is not working properly, the anesth. can build-up by-products and not metabolize the way it should. Hence you can give a lot of anesh. and they will not get numb. Depending on how severe the liver function is, will depend on how a person can get numb or not.
