🤣 nice. Love this haha

Important information here. Please read this.

If temperatures outside are below freezing please don't go walking outside. I'm not judging anyone. If temperatures are low enough, you are at risk of hypothermia. Alcohol makes you feel like you're warming up. You won't realize how close you are to freezing. Most people who freeze to death had alcohol in their system. I'm autistic and I know a Mortician. I am not a mortician. I just ask weird questions. Please be safe, friends. Biology is scary.

Sure....but can I ask what triggered this PSA? It's October. I checked a global weather map and it's below freezing basically nowhere.

You can die of hypothermia even if temps are not actually below freezing. It's just above freezing here and especially if it rains or you've been partying and sweating a bit falling asleep outside somewhere people wouldn't immediately find you can be a death sentence.

which makes all the more sense bc I’ve DEFINITELY slept in the some odd (and secluded) places while drunk

But it’s gonna be soon enough. Better to know not to freeze to death before it happens rather than during or after, I suppose

Having been drunk and walking around in -30°C, I must say that it depends if you wear your normal winter gear or not. If you thomk you're warm and go for a walk in your sweater and it's -30°C, you're gonna have a bad time. But that same walk in your usual winter gear that you were perfectly warm in earlier that day? Fine!

Like be careful, but a buzzed walk in softly falling snow is a beautiful time and can be done safely 😂
