Myth: Drink alcohol warms your body and can be used to prevent hypothermia.


These myths probably started from the fact that drinking alcohol will make you feel warmer because of the level of alcohol in your blood increases. In fact is quite from opposite, drinking alcohol, reduce the core temperature of your body. Director of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Iowa, dr. William Haynes, stated, "The consumption of alcohol is much decrease response function of the human body, one that disturbed function is a function to maintain body temperature and keep warm in cold weather."


So the conclusion, drinking alcohol it actually makes you more cold. Why? Then why reality it feel warmer when drinking alcohol?

So Where Does The Body Arrival Sense Warm When Drinking Alcohol in the Cold Weather?

The answer is because alcohol is a vasodilator, which is causing your blood vessels to dilate, especially capillaries beneath the surface of your skin.

Thus, the volume of blood under the skin surface, make you feel warm.

Meanwhile, the nature of the human body's response when cold to vasoconstriction, which aim your blood vessels shrink. Where this is the opposite of the body's response to alcohol exposure, namely vasodilation.

This is normal, not least because the natural response to a further reduction in the temperature of your body when in cold temperatures.

For more easily, the image next to be able to explain the difference visually vasodilation and vasoconstriction.

Well, it is true alcohol can warms the body?

Not entirely true.


Why, is it true alcohol can warms the body? 

"Not entirely true". Here's the explanation:

You feel warm had been drinking alcohol because when vasodilation occurs, blood vessels close to the heat sensor.

Well, dangerous things are happeni
















because of blood below to warm up your body will go back down temperatures with your cool environment temperature .

Dilation of blood vessels can be seen from the surface of how people who consume alcohol can make face become reddish.
