The problem with drinking alcohol in the cold is that it DOESN'T warm you up. The illusion of warmth comes from the heat that's leaving your skin as the alcohol evaporates inside your bloodstream. It turns out that alcohol is the very last thing you want to drink when you're cold.
That's not actually true, St. Bernard's have never had a barrel around their necks. This mistake started after a painting of one during a rescue, wearing a barrel around its neck. The artist later admitted that he added it in to make the painting more exciting.
Unfortunately, as lovely as the tale sounds, it's not the case. The barrel comes from works of literature, fiction; the dogs never actually carried barrels of alcohol. It was also more commonly said to be brandy, not whisky.
As I recall from legend (go ahead Wikipedia it and prove me wrong also) it was BRANDY. And while they wouldn't get drunk - the temporary expansion of their blood vessels (not arteries) would eventually cause them to LOOSE heat and freeze faster.
Think I remember hearing about a replacement "substance" but forgot what it is.
St Bernards never actually have a barrel around their neck aside from in paintings and for entertaining tourists. and when they do they have milk. Alcohol to a person with hypothermia is one of the worst things one can do, it will constrict their blood vessels and kill them quicker.
@igykalen Read what I said first again. "They never actually have a barrel around their neck aside from in paintings" I made a rule with an exception. Then I explained that in the exception they use milk. It's not hard.

It had potential... but no punch like. It's like it was trying to be esoteric for the sake of being esoteric. Geeks aren't fond of hipsters so showing what is essentially "hipster the cartoon" is ignoring who rocketboom's audience is. HNG's who wanna see molly talk about random interesting things.
Just because molly isn't in one goddam video doesn't mean that you can all bitch about it. It's a weekend for Christ's sake. Get off your period and just wait for molly to come back.
I knew the Saint Bernard thing, making this even worse than it was if I hadn't. Not only that, but there are some issues with the "fact". It doesn't "warm their throats," instead it makes them feel warmer throughout their whole body. Alcohol opens blood vessels, causing more warm blood to reach the outside of the body, where you feel cold. The problem isn't that they get drunk, it's it actually *lowers* body temperature, because heat is easily lost on the outside of your body. Boring and untrue.
My theory is that this was never made to be funny, it was made to piss you all off; a means of ROCKETBOOM showing contempt to all those that showed hatred to their Save the Date series.
Then again I could be wrong, and maybe this is just a bizarre attempt at comedy. :-/
It's a cask of Brandy (to revive one's spirits?). Alcohol tends to dehydrate people though but people with a thirst do want something to drink. Wikipedia says, "Alcohol consumption increases the risk of hypothermia via its action as a vasodilator. It increases blood flow to the body's skin and extremities, making a person feel warm, while increasing heat loss. Between 33 to 73% of cases of hypothermia are complicated by alcohol."
