  • This is Why You Feel Warm When You Drink Alcohol

    Ever wondered why we feel warm when we drink? Well this feeling of warmth is generated by heat sensitive neurons (thermoreceptors) located in the skin that detect a rise in your skin temperature from an increase in blood flow in the vessels near the surface of the skin.

    Although you feel warm temporarily, you’re actually getting cold on the inside. Alcohol consumption has been found to reduce the perception of cold air temperatures, probably due to the effects of alcohol on the brain rather than the changes in dilation of blood vessels.

    Ultimately alcohol affects the mind and brain, so whenever you drink, do so responsibly and moderately.
