Did you not read all of the consent given to the officer?
There is also an exception to the 4th amendment called plain touch/smell. If you smell like booze that is probable cause, just like it is with marijuana.
The real kicker of smelling marijuana is that it gives them consent to search in any reasonable location marijuana could be stashed; therefore, everywhere.
