What does alcohol do to your body temperature?
It lowers it.
When alcohol reaches your bloodstream, it causes your small blood vessels to expand. This increases the flow of blood in your body. Although you may feel warm, your body temperature actually drops. This is why it is not a good idea to drink alcohol to “warm up” when you are exposed to cold air or water. It slows down the heart rate and dilates blood vessels, which can make you feel warmer but increases risk of hypothermia.

What are the risks of mixing energy drinks and alcohol?
Alcohol is considered a depressant or downer and energy drinks are uppers with high amounts of caffeine in them. Mixing uppers and downers can increase the risk of overdose.
