This is one more piece of evidence that proves beer does more good than harm.

A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

oh
my
god

It would have been REALLY ironic if he got alcohol poisoning from drinking so much.
oh, wait...

He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there."

hope de doesn't lose an organ.

Oh God, just think of the ideas this will give Murbot

As a rule, he will always have at least two cases of beer in the car at all times... and in order to make sure they don't go bad he will have to replace them every two weeks...

Just goes to show you, Beer Saves Lives.

I bet that'd be a good alternative to shoveling the steps, the walkway and your car out when it's stuck.

Yep, I agree. We have an impending ice storm here in Atlanta.. and in preparation, I'm putting a dent in this six pack of 8% beer. I might need to piss my way to safety within the hour.

Hey that wasn't you standing in line behind me at the Kroger across the Amtrak station was it? The guy in front of me had, like, five ka-jillion things on the conveyor belt. I just had a case of beer for my Dad and some Harp for me.

I'd say "bring on the ice", but I remember how deadly that crap is. Still, I've got beer if I need it...

[Akumulator]

Nope.....wasn't me.

I got my fix at the Whole Foods up Roswell.

I noticed a lot of people buying extra amounts of beer today...... bring on the ICE!!!

He ran the risk of passing out drunk, then dying from the cold.

He should have drank 3 or 4 beers and then once he got going, put the urine into the bottles. The hot bottles would have wasted less heat (Hot liquid would just drop through the snow too quickly, likely in the wrong direction), he could have rubbed the bottles against the snow (or indeed any cold bodyparts) more effectively.

He could then start drinking the cooled-off, tepid urine, adding a new beer every hour or so that he wouldn't get too drunk, and to dilute the urine a bit. Urine is sterile and largely harmless, albeit gross. Plus he'd waste less beer.

This is survival. Every beer is precious

Nature's most perfect drink....

[murbot]

If that were me, my tears of joy would also help to melt the snow. Imagine, having to drink beer. Like, drink it or DIE.

I am always in awe when the all the perceived randomness of life comes together to create a Perfect Moment.

Intuitively I knew beer is one of the great goods of our time - and this fine piece of evidence just supports this.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

Whoa. That'll teach me.

Lock away.
