Did you know that if you drink a cold drink it does not make a person cooler for long because the cold causes the body to work harder to warm up so uses energy and creates more heat.
In winter, in some cold places, people like drinking to keep warm. But drinking does not make a person warmer for long, because alcohol makes vasodilatation that cause blood flow faster. A large amount of blood gathering to the body surface in a short period of time makes people feel warm. After these heats sending off, people will feel cooler.

你知道吗？如果你喝一杯冷饮，并不能长时间地使人感到更凉快， 因为寒冷使身体消耗更多的能量并产生更多的热量去恢复温暖。
在冬天，在一些地方，人们喜欢喝酒取暖。但是喝酒不能长时间地使人感到温暖，因为酒精引起血管舒张，这使得血液流动速度加快。大量的血液短时间内聚集到身体表面使人感到暖和。等这些热量散发掉以后，人们就会觉得更冷了。

Did you know that if you drink a cold drink it does not make you cooler for long, because it causes the body to work harder to warm up so uses energy and creates (even) more heat.
In winter, in some cold places, people like drinking (alcohol) to keep warm.// people resort to drinking alcohol...// ...people like drink alcohol..
But drinking does not make a person warmer for long, because alcohol causes vasodilatation, which causes the blood to flow faster.//...causes faster blood-flow.//...causes vasodilatation and the blood to flow faster.
In general, you shpuldn't repeat verbs, but "causes" doesn't sound too bad here. Alternatively:
"(the) alcohol makes the blood vessels dilate and causes the blood to flow faster"
"blood flow" is not usually written with a hyphen, as in my correction above, I was just making sure the sentence structure was clear
An increase in blood flow to the body surface in a short period of time makes people feel warm.
After this heat has dissipated, the person will (once again) feel cooler.
I'm not sure if "dissipated" is the right word for the human body. I'm more of a physicist than a biologist.
When discussing things generally, "you" "a person" and "people" can all be used, but for some reason I can't explain, "people" sounds a bit odd in this sentence.
Nice to meet you. :))
