If you’re laying out in the freezing cold, drinking some alcohol may be the only way to warm up and get to sleep

That is a popular myth. The truth is the opposite.

The feeling of warmth is the heat leaving your body and the receptors on your skin are detecting it. Meanwhile your core temperature is going down.

Maybe they do get warm then get the last sleep they'll ever need.
