Man peed his way out of avalanche!
 

Wow, all I can say is wow!

HAHAHA

and you wonder what good beer does....
belly up.

that's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.
beer saves lives.

that beer company should hire him as a spokesperson.

Couldnt he have just poured the non-frozen beer onto the snow and accomplished the same thing?

Could one person consume 30 liters (60 half liters) of beer and still survive?

he was digging up, i think. and pee is warmer than beer. and it's beer. you can't just dump it out. not like that.

consider it like this: put an ice cube in a glass of ice tea and it does not melt very fast as the temp of the tea is low.

Put an ice cube in a mug of regular tea and it melts quickly as the temp is high.

More snow can be melted with warm pee than with cold beer even if the amount of liquids are equal due to heat transfer.

The stuff of urban legends.

As my brother likes to say, "you don't drink beer, you just recycle it".

Probably an urban legend, although snopes.com neither confirms nor denies this.

Aside from the temperature thing though, you can get more liquid by consuming the beer rather than just pouring it out because you pee out more than you drink when it comes to alcohol. That's why it dehydrates you. But I don't personally believe this story is true.

That man is my idol. He deserves some kind of Nobel prize...




or a free truck of beer.

Maybe a noble prize. He's lucky he dug the right direction.
