Lesson of the day by Morgan Freeman: When temperatures drop, many people instinctively reach for alcohol thinking it will help them feel warmer. While it may create a brief sensation of warmth, alcohol actually causes blood vessels to widen, making the body lose heat faster. This can increase the risk of hypothermia in cold conditions, especially when exposure to low temperatures continues for long periods. What feels comforting in the moment can sometimes work against the body’s natural ability to maintain warmth.
