    Contrary to popular belief, alcohol does not make you warmer. It may give you the feeling that you’re getting warmer, but that’s just an illusion: really, alcohol makes you more susceptible 1 to the cold.

    很多人都认为喝酒可以暖身,其实这种说法是不正确的。喝酒可以给你一种暖和的幻觉,但那仅仅是幻觉,喝酒实际上让你更容易受寒冷的影响。

    In cold weather, the body reacts by routing blood away from the skin toward the internal organs. This prevents loss of heat through the skin and maintains the core temperature. But, alcohol reverses this effect by making you flush red.

    在寒冷的天气,身体中的血液会从皮肤流向身体内的各个器官。这样就阻止了皮肤里面热量的散发,并保证身体的核心温度。但是,酒精通过让你的脸变红来阻止血液的这个作用。

    This flush makes you feel warm for a few minutes, but you are really losing heat through the skin to the cold air. You could lose enough heat to begin hypothermia and not even realize it. As your skin feels warmer, the core body temperature is becoming colder and colder.

    这种脸红会让你短暂地觉得暖和,但实际上,你正在将自己皮肤的热量传输到寒冷的空气。你的体温一直降低,但是你却无法察觉。虽然你的皮肤眯起来暖暖的,但是你的身体核心温度正在降低。
