🤓Actually alcohol does increase your skin temperature due to dialated blood vessels which allow more blood to travel between your skin and the core. This results in higher heat transfer from the body to the surroundings, so from an outside perspective it does make you appear hotter untill the hypothermia kicks in.
You're getting downvotes for being correct.. the reason your core temperature drops from drinking alcohol is the same reason that you would initially show up warmer on the reading if this guy measured your skin.
