Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.
He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.
But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.
He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.
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."
Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->(<a href='http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1261997.html?menu' target='_blank'>Source Article</a>)

Edit: Aargh beaten by like 5 people. I suck.
Why let all the beer go to waste?
Screw the avalanche, you could fall asleep in your car and wake up buried.
Well this has to be one of the most amusing survival stories I have ever heard. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
See! Alcohol CAN save your life!
It's cool that he managed to pee thourgh the avalanche with all that alcohol running through his veins :)
Or siphon the gasoline out of the tank <.<

What? You had a gun and the bear was charging at you and you.. you shot it? WTH?
Why didn't you shoot into the air above it, hitting a branch and making the branch fall onto the bear?
Or you could have fasioned yourself a communist flag and shot into the air causing the army to come around and save you from the bear thinking that you're an invading communist army.
Or you could have taken apart the gun and made a bear whistle to distract it from attacking you.
But shooting it with the gun is just.. I don't know how on earth you could have come to that solution.
I mean, hell, you can have even taken the gun barrel and sharpened it against a rock while the bear was charging and then stabbed it in the eye.. but shooting it.. WTH man. WTH.
Not if you're buried in snow. Sure, it'll be warm and cozy as long as you have gas in the tank, but you'll rather soon experience a fairly painful death as you're poisoned by the exhaust fumes (CO and CO2 mostly).
And wouldn't the ether alcohol in the beer melt the snow, as it has a LOWER freezing point than standard water? I mean hell... after 60 beers I'd be lucky to point my wang in the right DIRECTION to **** out the car... much less remembering to put the window down and pull down my pants 0o
- He was found 4 days after his car was buried under the snow.
- It was 60 half-litre bottles of beer.
- You can't use your car's radiator or engine to heat up 10ft of snow without either running out of batteries, flooding your car with melted water from above you, discovering that your car won't start because it's so cold, or dying of the pollution.
- Urine is warm. Your body generates a lot of heat, and urine comes from within.
- He's probably glad that it was just beer and not vodka that he had to drink.
And he could have used vodka to melt the snow directly as it has an excessively high alchohol content, then again central european alchohol is always strong, that beer was probably 90% anyway.
wow thats really amazing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That guy is hardcore if he can drink that much.
