Alcohol causes the small blood vessels in your skin to dilate, allowing more blood to enter the area. This causes the warmth and flushing. It's the same process that happens when you blush from embarrassment or spend time in very warm weather (without the alcohol of course)

Why does your ears get hot?

Because the rest of your body is feeling hot. When you feel hot, the capillaries (small blood vessels) in your ears dilate, or spread out, so that more heat can escape from the blood. Sometimes, when you feel embarrassed, your body is under stress, from muscle action and various substances released from your glands due to your body's reaction to that emotion. This causes the same thing as when you feel hot to happen, and your capillaries in your ears, and sometimes your face, dilate, causing a rush of warm blood to reach those areas.

Can you pour alcohol in my dogs ears?

It's not usually a good idea to pour alcohol directly into your dog's ears. If his ears are irritated it can be very painful. To clean or dry your dogs ears, put some alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe the inner ears. If your dog has open sores in his ears, use hydrogen peroxide instead, or get medication from a veterinarian.
