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

Rescue teams found a drunken Richard Kral staggering on a mountain path four days after his Audi was buried, Ananova.com reports.

Unable to dig himself out, he drank one of 60 half-litre bottles of beer in the car and realised he could melt the snow with urine - then drank the rest.

"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," he said.

Is there anything that beer can't do?

Lucky he did'nt have Fosters with him, he would of had to make a choice, dont drink the beer and die, or killing himself by drinking the 60 bottles.
Ooee it's a tough one.

Yes, that really is a dilemma in the true meaning of the word (a choice between two equally unattractive options).

Jeez. It's a toughie.

I would also suggest that the car wasn't that deep.

Think about it, 30 litres of pee is not that much I can do the thermodynamics on that but I don't think you could melt much

Sorry to burst a good story

Dogger,

If there's one thing I've learned in my years working in newspapers it's this: "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story."

Cheers,
