Hypothermia
The article says "(In reality, the effect would have been more psychological than physiological, as alcohol increases the rate of heat loss in people suffering from hypothermia.)" On the other hand, the liver converts alcohol to sugar and water in an exothermic process. The heat generated in the liver would help, and it is very likely that a mountain traveler in distress would have low blood sugar, due to the work of climbing, the cold, the possible shortage of provisions, his food being frozen and the lack of opportunity to eat. The water in the brandy and from metabolism of the alcohol would also be better than eating snow or ice. David R. Ingham (talk) 02:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
