I heard this is true, and am feeling it tonight in Colorado.

I was doing Lantang Trek in the Himalayas few years back. In one of the stops which was around 4,200m elevation, i decided to have 2 shots of a good single malt whiskey. Hoping that would warm up my body as it was -6°C. Couldnt remember much after. Woke up next day, with a slight headache. Asked my friends what happened and they told me i was talking loudly, laughing a lot and offered everyone in the inn a drink. I was pretty much drunk, they said. I’d made a fool of myself and lesson was learnt. 1 shot was my limit.
Alcoholic drinks get economical at higher altitudes. The elevation, fatigue and dehydration did play a part.
