What comes to your mind when you see the word above?

Cardi B.

Does taking gin or something like vodka help to raise the body temperature?

This is certainly a good read and it's enlightening.

    Taking alcohol actually increases the risk of hypothermia because taking it actually increases heat loss.

    Alcohol consumption increases the risk of hypothermia by its action as a vasodilator. It increases blood flow to the skin and extremities, making a person feel warm, while increasing heat loss. Between 33% and 73% of hypothermia cases are complicated by alcohol.source

      So taking gin to shrug off cold is a scam 🤔 🤔
