Alcohol consumption causes peripheral vasoconstriction. Why is drinking wine in a hot tub not advised?
What will be an ideal response?
When sitting in a hot tub the body would induce vasodilation to allow heat loss to occur to compensate for the heat gained from being in the hot tub. Alcohol, causing vasoconstriction would limit the degree of vasodilation used for heat loss. This could lead to heat retention and possible heat stroke.
