Man peed way out of avalanche. "It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt." That's awfully articulate for someone who just drank 30 liters of beer.
  • I'm guessing it would have been just as effective to pour the beer on the snow, just not as much fun. Besides, if I had a choice to face death shitfaced or sober, I'd opt for shit faced.
  • He could have made beer Sno-Cones. I bet he's kicking himself now.
  • I bet he's pissing himself now.
  • While I do think it may have been effective, squidranch, I think it was more efficient to urinate, as the beer presumably wasn't 98.6 degrees F.... Presuming, of course, that more snow wasn't filling in the melted places (takes a little while to process liquid through the kidneys, especially 30 liters). Either way, that dude has one whopper of a great story to tell the grandkids. And the crowd at the pub. And at work. And random people on the street.
  • and they say there are no more heroes.
  • I think it was more efficient to urinate, as the beer presumably wasn't 98.6 degrees F I wonder how sticking the beer under his armpit, or some other way of using his body heat to warm up the beer (hey, what about the car heater?), would have compared time-wise.
  • *ahem*
  • I do have to admit, Debaser, that I didn't read the full link on that earlier thread, and caught the thread itself before more than 1 or 2 comments had come in. I think I missed it because I didn't know what it was from reading either the front page or the [more inside] part. :-/
  • well... I could've been more clear on what the link was... Still think it's a fine use of ale...
  • Fun story. Not even remotely plausible, however. Just fill your mouth, wait until it warms, and you would have much more accuracy. You would also be able to capitalize on getting to melting areas more quickly. Hell, if he just put his face against the snow and breathed, then it would melt the snow faster than waiting for his body to process all of it.
  • Sure! Until his face froze.
