Is it normal to feel extremely cold when you're drunk?

I think its very odd. I've heard of people feeling warm when they get a little tipsy, but recently I've started getting really cold when I reached a certain level... Like freezing. I also can't get warm when I'm like this, but this happens shortly before passing out.

    It depends what you drinking, some drinks make you feel warm others cold. I dunno, i don't really understand how this sort of thing works, i just know what it's like to drink the stuff...but yeah, generally this sort of thing is normal.

    Drinking increases blood supply to the vessels closest to the skin. This is one of the body's mechanisms for cooling down as the blood gets cooled by the air near your skin.

    For me personally, getting drunk always makes me feel warmer (probably because I have the same physical sensation as being hot) but then when I stop drinking, I cool off to be colder than I would be had I not drank.

    There is likely some scientific explanation, I would hold off drinking until you find out what is happening, could be something to do with blood pressure and you just dont mess with that stuff.

      I agree I would not touch another drop until you see a Doctor.
