Richard Kral was trapped in his car under an avalanche. He had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out. But as he dug with his hands, he realized the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through. He was staring death in the eye and death, dressed in little snow and ice negligee, gave him a little wave.
Kral was on holiday and had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car for the occasion. After cracking one open to think about the problem he realized he could urinate on the snow to melt it.
"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."
Rescue teams found Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

Beer...is there anything it can't do?
It can't carry a tune.
