Of course, if you would make a joke then you are a heartless bastard.
So what's the joke? I promise I won't tell it.

Yeah well... You both must embrace the concept of the world is populated with a bunch of pussy idiots that have no heart or just a generation or 3 of the toughness to survive the basic elements with drink or not.. That's sad... you're not up for it... even sadder given the toughness of your ancestors that got you here...In movies etc they were always shown with little barrels of brandy but it was actually a myth although they were used as rescue dogs in Switzerland.
Turns out, just one alcoholic drink could make you feel warmer, but it actually lowers your core body temperature.
How does alcohol employ this rule of opposites? Alcohol may make your skin feel warm, but this apparent heat wave is deceptive. A nip or two actually causes your blood vessels to dilate, moving warm blood closer to the surface of your skin, making you feel warmer temporarily. At the same time, however, those same veins pumping blood closer to the skin's surface cause you to lose core body heat - the heat you need to survive, especially if you're stuck in a snowdrift . This effect could lead to fatal hypothermia.Last edited by ZahZoo; 12-17-2013, 01:53 AM."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

I was trying to say you both come from heartier ancestral stock and don't pander to wimps... Appears my brain got in the way of simple communication. Maybe I shouldn't think and drink at the same time..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

When I was a young'in, we'd get drunk so bad that we'd walk around shirtless in 0º Celsius - or 30º F for you illiterate savages - & we never even got so much as a cold.
Mind you, though, that those 0º can be deceptive. I've actually been in places with much lower temperatures where I was much more comfortable than with said 0º in my hometown. You see, it's a very dry, biting cold that gets under your clothing, pierces through your skin & cruelly grips your bones until you beg for mercy. There've been people who lived winters of -10º all their lives who complained that 3º in my hometown was the coldest they ever felt.
A bit of alcohol may very well lower your core temperature... but a shitload of it will increase, no matter how you slice it. I remember reading on a newspaper that a bum in Russia survived a night of -40º. Where was he sleeping? In a garden bench. His only "shelter" was all the Vodka he drank. They tested the guy & the amount of alcohol in his boy was something unbelievable.
Science & Math aren't absolute truths... they're more like guidelines.
Cheers!

There's a lot of sugary based calories in alcohol... calories generate energy in humans... energy generates heat...
So the "guidelines" say..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Ah-ha yes, BUTT! That's not what Seshmeister's study says.
And therein lies my point. Scientific studies, much like numbers, can be made to prove whatever the fuck someone wants. It's easy, just focus on the trees & ignore the forest.
Then just follow whatever logic you feel better applies to that small piece of the puzzle while separated from the rest & represents what you're trying to prove.
Also, the most basic piece of this shitty puzzle is the alcohol itself. Rub some on your skin & while it may be old at first, notice how it will warm up that area for a bit. The gather all the rest of the information available, pile it up with some common sense & there's the bigger picture. In this case as well as any other.
So yes, alcohol generates heat, fuck studies.
Cheers!

Not that one, but the rest, yes.
