The easiest way would be to get out of the cold.

Hypothermia can be alleviated somewhat by wearing several layers of clothing, eating more carbohydrates (or more calories generally), and taking cover from the wind.

The symptoms of hypothermia can be alleviated by drinking alcohol, but this is actually dangerous because alcohol actually causes death from hypothermia to occur more rapidly by inhibiting the body's protective response.
