Why do some people feel like they're hot (temperature, not "sexy") after consuming alcohol?
358046
As a result of peripheral vasodilation (widening of small blood vessels) the face becomes flushed and the drinker will feel warm, although in fact a greater amount of body heat is lost.\n\nThis is really dangerous in cold weather situations, where people think alcohol will keep them warm.  Yes, they will have an immediate sensation of being warm but it actually lowers the body's core temperature and can lead to hypothermia.

could be.  Do find out you need to treat it like a science experiment.  Drink it and then see how you feel.  Don't drink it for a few days and then drink it again.  If you feel that way then I'd so don't drink it!

Probably. Sounds like they do not have control over their drinking. Weather or not a person is an alcoholic is more about control than amount. Some alcoholics don't drink, yet they are still alcoholics.\n\n(Added 5/3)\nAlcoholism - Also known as "alcohol dependence syndrome," a disease characterized by the following elements: \n\n - Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. \n - Loss of control: The frequent inability to stop drinking once a person has begun. \n - Physical dependence: The occurrence of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. These symptoms are usually relieved by drinking alcohol or by taking another sedative drug. \n - Tolerance: The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to get "high." \n\nNone of these symptoms are based on how often one drinks, they are based on the effects. If someone gets drunk every time they party, but party only once a month, it sure sounds like: "Loss of control: The frequent inability to stop drinking once a person has begun."

Because having sex releases endorphins which give you a temporary high. Endorphins are natural chemicals that the body produces. Some people turn to alcohol or chocolate when they are down to get the same effect. Its like an addiction. Try taking some exercise when you feel down to create the same feelings and will make you feel better about yourself as well.

Normal. The best way I can describe it is to tell you that you're "in heat". Your body is telling you that it's time to procreate.

hmmmm that's not always true. Put your hands in two diff bowls of water for a minute: one as hot as you can bear - the other as cold as you can bear. Then plunge them both into a bowl of water around70 (I assume you mean degF) and see if you feel the same way

This is like asking "if water is just made of hydrogen and oxygen, how does is quench my thirst." These emotions from sound are like that of smell, it is all memory association. This changes with every person and if I hear something, can it truly make me feel drunk, or do I feel what I perceive to be drunk?

Great question!  Alcohol actually requires your liver to use up a cofactor called NAD.  This cofactor is required in cells to break down sugar, proteins, and fats into energy.  By using up all the NAD in you liver, you liver can't breakdown as much glycogen and produce glucose from other sources to feed your muscles.  This causes a state of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).  This is the exact same reason why after a night of drinking, you get terribly hungry.\n\nAdditionally, alcohol is a diuretic.  It causes you to urinate a lot of the fluid in your body.  This can cause cramps and dizziness if you exercise and there isn't enough blood volume circulating.

Evaporative cooling. Alcohol evaporates easily. In order to evaporate, the alcohol takes heat away from the skin, reducing the body temperature. It works in the same way sweating does.

Alcohol can release your inhibitions, so you need to honestly ask yourself if you ever have these feelings when you are sober. It could be that you are having these thoughts and repressing them, or it could be that you are getting too carried away when drinking. If you have these thoughts after a few drinks, you may want to question who you are sexually attracted to. If you are having these thoughts when stumbling drunk, you may want to question how much you drink.

NO! You tend to feel much better when you do anything after a few drinks. I was told by a personal trainer that if he drinks too much he runs home afterwards cause it avoids a hangover.

ME TOO!!!! I have to wear lighter clothing, keep my hair up, I use a fan even in the bathroom, I cant even take to hot of a shower! I notice my hot flashes are worse at night, so I use light weight cover and all cotton for my pillow cases and sheets, absorbs sweat and keeps me feeling cooler. I also notice and dont know if others have this but if my beverage or food is to hot I swear I have a hot flash even worse. I am not on hormones really perfer not to be, I have been taking a real good vitamin called alive and have seen some improvement, I am now looking into a homopathic  way, have not tried any yet, hope some of the things I do help u also to cope, oh a cool bath feels great!

Hmmmmmmm never asked but I am assuming the wetness and the heat of the mouth! Because you can change how that feels by drinking something hot or cold to make it feel different!

You're not gonna feel better until you eat. Alcohol makes your blood sugar go crazy.
