Last Question:
Does drinking alcohol (for example brandy) warm you up when you are spending time out in cold weather?
Answer:
No
Drinking alcohol might initially make you feel warmer, but drinking alcoholic lowers your core body temperature. It sends blood to your skin, which will make you feel warm and flushed. This effect however causes a loss of body heat. Hypothermia could result. Alcohol also dehydrates the body and impairs judgment.
