    Actually, I think what happens is that alcohol causes vasodilation, so your extremities which would normally be vasoconstricted and cold to the touch, become warm. Unfortunately, this makes you lose heat faster than you would otherwise, and thus become colder overall. But, as many have pointed out-you just don't care. It's been said that alcohol acts as "antifreeze", but I suspect that the blood levels necessary for this would probably kill you!

    Be well,

    So first you go to a sporting goods store and get a few hand warmers, then to a hardware store for some duct tape. Activate the hand warmers and strategically tape them in place under the skirt. You walk in to the bar all smiley and cozy warm and let the guys try to figure out why!!
