How does alcohol affect body temperature?

Shane Parrish has not specifically discussed the direct effects of alcohol on body temperature. However, there is a related clip where Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses temperature regulation and metabolism in response to cold water therapy. While not directly related to alcohol, it highlights how the body responds to temperature changes, relevant to understanding overall temperature regulation mechanisms. In this clip, Dr. Huberman explains that entering cold water can increase body metabolism and heat production through adrenaline and cortisol release, along with a significant increase in dopamine, which indirectly influences body temperature by stimulating metabolic activity 1.
