Miners worldwide have a reputation for alcohol consumption.
They have built an enormous tolerance to alcohol. However, this subject should be addressed as alcohol comes as a very natural method of 'blotting out' traumatic memories. Clinical experience seems to suggest that the heat sensation relates to increasing ambient temperature brought about by disruption to underground airflow management.
