Not all people are ready to accept the autumn chill. Many are drawn to nature, on the barbecue, in a bath at the cottage. Understandably, many are beginning to drink. The problem is that when the temperature tends to zero, binge can harm stronger than usual.
Something is trying to keep warm alcohol. It is also dangerous.
Alcohol gives a false sense of warmth
Alcohol dilates blood vessels. It makes us feel warm. In fact, at this moment we are very quickly cooled. Funny but risk supercooled, in such a way can keep fingers from frostbite. Blood from the middle of the body rushes to the skin, and, ceteris paribus limbs otmerznut not as fast as without drinking. True internal organs receive less heat. From this principle it is possible to die, and if you have had any heart problems, you can get fit, even while awake.
Spirits bad freezes
glass of vodka may seem warm, but in fact it may have a temperature of -25 degrees. Such a thing is easy to drink, but promorazhivaet bones.
Drunk people chudyat
They simply can not put on a robe and freeze only on this trick.
Alcohol outputs water
When we lose water, it freezes before. I'm talking about is already said in a previous publication. At the bottom there is a link. Water has a high heat capacity, so the water is poured into a hot-water bottle. Water inside of us - it is a natural warmer. If water is scarce, it becomes more difficult to maintain the internal temperature.
reduced tremor
People like this effect, but in fact because our body loses an important mechanism of heat production. Tremors - is the work of muscles. During operation, the muscles produce heat. Alcohol robs us of this precious quality.
Now for the rules on emergency specialists
- If you do decide to have a drink in the cold season on the street, dress warmer. Just add an extra layer in clothing. Alcohol provokes sweating. From this, we quickly cools, and even our clothing becomes moist and permanently loses for insulating properties. Do not put the first layer of cotton stuff. They do not evacuate moisture. Better than synthetic or wool thermal underwear.
- Eat something greasy before drinking. Because the body produces more heat. Besides slowly be intoxicated.
- Do not drink too cold alcohol. If you are on the street admiring the first snow, you do not add in a glass ice. And so it around enough.
- Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Tea, coffee or mulled wine - all of it is better than just spirits.
- Keep in company non-drinking friend or neighbor who will look after you.
