Should you drink alcohol to increase body temperature?

Many people believe that drinking alcohol makes the body hotter, more excited, and forgets the cold, especially men like to drink before sex because of the feeling of excitement. In fact, alcohol only stimulates the nerves, creating a temporary feeling of warmth, without increasing body temperature. Alcohol abuse causes physical disorders, loss of control and negative effects on health.

Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, hepatitis, cirrhosis, stomach ulcers, and impaired sexual ability and reproductive health. People who are obese, overweight, sedentary, smoke, or have a history of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or stroke are in the high-risk group. After drinking alcohol, the body is susceptible to colds, so do not overexert yourself.

Experts recommend: men do not drink more than 2 units of alcohol/day, women 1 unit of alcohol/day and do not drink more than 5 days/week.

Specifically, one unit of alcohol is equivalent to about 3/4 of a bottle or can of beer with a capacity of 330ml (5%), 1 cup of draft beer of 330 ml (depending on the type of beer, it contains 1-12% alcohol, usually around 5%). Low-alcohol beers (or non-alcoholic beers) usually have an alcohol content of 0.05 – 1.2%. A 100 ml (13.5%) glass of wine or a 30ml (40%) glass of spirits.

You can refer to the formula to calculate the time it takes for alcohol concentration to disappear in the body as follows:

When drinking alcohol, you should drink slowly, drink while talking or drink it with strong tea to relieve hangovers. You should not eat too sweet candies, jams or spicy foods, and smoke while drinking alcohol, which will cause your body to quickly get tired and your mind to lack clarity…

Do not mix alcohol with beer and stimulants. Avoid drinking alcohol when hungry.
