According to the expert, drinking alcohol to warm up is a dangerous mistake that can be fatal. You should not dive in cold water for at least two days after drinking alcohol. Holdin emphasized that ethanol should be completely eliminated from the body “to avoid serious consequences.” By this the doctor means loss of consciousness or cardiac arrest.
“Alcoholic beverages sharply expand blood vessels, while ice water, on the contrary, narrows them. Such changes are extremely dangerous. Moreover, a drunk person cannot control the situation, so he can slip and drown,” the narcologist warned.
