Does Alcohol Really Keep You Warm?

The video debunks the myth that alcohol keeps you warm. It explains that alcohol causes vasodilation, which makes you feel warm temporarily but actually lowers your core body temperature. This is because the heat dissipates quickly when blood rushes to the skin's surface. Additionally, alcohol affects nerve receptors, making them more sensitive to body heat, which causes a burning sensation. The video advises against using alcohol to stay warm and suggests opting for hot chocolate instead.
