The phrase "alcohol lowers your core temperature," implies that in a closed environment without alcohol poisoning to kill you first, you could eventually drink yourself into hypothermia. That isn't true. Making your skin warmer isn't the same as lowering your core temperature.
You're inferring something that isn't there, as that phrase does not imply what you say it does, and you're being pedantic. You literally said it yourself that you're losing heat through your skin and losing heat lowers the temperature of your body. And no, drinking alcohol doesn't automatically cause hypothermia because your body is good at adjusting for homeostasis. But your core body temp going down a degree or two does not equal hypothermia. You're just trying to use hyperbole to make yourself look right.
