What does [酒でも飲んでたか] mean?
It was translated in a movie as "have you been drinking whiskey?" but I thoughtでも was used for 'even if'

Question

Answer

でもin this sentence means something else. 
Wine or another drink like that.

good luck.

Answer

Umm....good question.
When you use でも like the sentences , you are NOT sure the person was drinking sake or something else. 
For example, お酒でも飲みませんか？means " Why don't we drink sake or something else?"

I hope this helps :-)
