The only way to beat this cold weather is to drink a lot of alcohol. |
|
Alcohol warms the blood and helps your body better deal with the cold.
It is even better if you drink and smoke cigarettes. The heat from the cigarette helps you stay warm.

but it's a little more complicated. Did you see that on Mythbusters where they tested the idea that alcohol is good for you when you're cold?
Basically, to sum up, it's worse to drink alcohol in the long run because it spreads the heat to your extremities. It makes you feel warmer for a while, but the loss of heat to your vital core will kill you faster.
If you are not in danger of dying from the cold, but in danger of suffering from minor frostbite, etc, drinking alcohol will help.

17. That's not the ONLY way. |
|
You can also go outside, start you car, crank the heat, get in wearing your swimsuit, put a towel over your head and pretend that you are outside and it's summer.
Winter is bad!
