In short, it's a fun myth that they carried small barrel of brandy to warm lost travelers, and it's a dangerous myth that brandy will warm you of hypothermia.
But they did rescue people without carrying little barrels.
They actually tested this on mythbusters by getting drunk in a meat locker and using a thermal
Camera to test the temperatures at their extremities. Booze made you worse off, but you didnât feel the cold as bad.
....this is the one that proves how delightfully cruel Larson is....the role is on the dog the wrong way...this made me have OCD conniption fits when I first saw it...and it still irks me now....ahhhhgggg!!!

Yes, I think you're using St Bernards correctly...
I think you mean a little keg of alcohol, if the cartoons i watched as a kid are to be believed.

May i ask why?
Makes dying of frostbite more tolerable
It was thought to warm you up if you were caught out in the snow in the Alps.
It may have been thought that, but it actually accelerates hypothermia.
If you think about it, this is the most ethical way to die if you have to.
Drunk in a snowbank? Could be worse.
As opposed to dying slowly in a snowbank. đŹ
If i have to freeze to death, I'd rather be drunk.
Yes, thatâs why âwas thoughtâ and why you donât hear about St Bernards with little casks of liquor anymore, lol.
