Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

No external evidence was found to support or refute the claims regarding alcohol's effect on body temperature. In medical science, alcohol is known to cause vasodilation, which can lower core body temperature despite the subjective feeling of warmth. However, since no direct evidence was discovered for the claims, they remain unverified based on the present evidence.
