The main risk of drinking alcohol in winter is losing touch with reality in low-temperature conditions.
It is precisely the freezing weather that makes the issue of bringing back sobering-up stations particularly acute. Many intoxicated people do not even feel that they are cold. They keep moving and then may simply fall. The state of intoxication is unpredictable. A person may be quiet and then suddenly become aggressive — vodka makes a person savage and brutish.
