Default 12 v. and forty below outdoors

That sounds like a positively cruel thing to happen, to anyone.

It starts in your mouth, and throat. Fluid below the freezing
point of water "suck the heat" out of the tissue surrounding the
fluid, and will cause"frostbite" as it goes.
Think of an ice cream brain freeze, only with more "freeze".

Indoors, at or near room temperature alcohol doesn't have that effect
but some fools think of whiskey as 'human antifreeze'. Then they die.


People think booze is "warming" when the actuality is that booze
opens surface blood vessels, and the body heat "exported" from the
core born by the blood, makes the skin feel warm. As the body dumps
heat to the cold air - at least you feel good.
