Alchol lowers you're body temperature. Many drunks, and or homeless individuals fall victim to freezing to death, during the winter, do to the fact of not staying in a shelter wile intoxicated. In additon to the fact that the ground draws heat away from the body, the combination can be fatal. Wile marijuana has had little study and there is no evidence what so ever that it has any effect on human body temperature.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Consuming simple carbohydrates such as alcohol or sugar temporarily raises you're body temperature which often causes you to sweat, which in turn rapidly lowers you're body temperature.
Alcohol by far as it does damage to your body and causes addiction.
yes
alcohol tends to have a higher addiction rate and can be more harmful to the body
No. A lower body temperature is associated with alcohol overdose or poisoning. If ever in doubt, obtain medical attention ASAP. Alcohol poisoning is very dangerous and can be fatal. Many universities today have an alcohol amnesty or Good Samaritan policy to protect both the victim and the person who seeks medical attention for the victim.
Alcohol, I wouldn't yet. But marijuana is fine. It helps your body heal.
lowers the temperature lowers the temperature
Alcohol will not change what is in your body besides it. A urine test may have slightly lower levels of THC metabolites than usual (since alcohol is a diuretic and you will lose water quicker, diluting it somewhat) but if you smoked marijuana, you will still fail any drug test regardless.
vasodilatation reduces body temperature.
Administering an alcohol rub or sponged bath is practiced to help reduce a fever due to the cooling effect of the alcohol as it evaporates from the skin. This process helps to increase heat loss from the body, which can help in bringing down the elevated body temperature during a fever.
No.
No.
absolutely not. as you can see in the link above, alcohol requires more dependence than marijuana. this means that if someone gets drunk off of alcohol, the next time they wish to get drunk they will have to consume more alcohol than the previous time. Also, alcohol is more addictive than marijuana. saying your addicted to marijuana is like saying your addicted to facebook (or something else that you really enjoy doing). as for alcohol, your body depends on alcohol. For marijuana, the addiction is all in your head. as far as overdosing, the theoretical amount of pot you have to consume is over a thousand hits (of course this cant be proven because no one has ever bothered to try it). with alcohol, it is very easy to suffer from alcohol poisoning if one gets drunk enough and is an alcoholic. for intoxication, alcohol leads to direct violence toward others, where marijuana simply makes people relaxed and more tolerant of their surroundings. alcohol can directly lead to serious physical injuries to ones body where marijuana is seldom seen as a direct cause.
