How much energy is required to heat up all of that beer to body temperature?

Unless he was packing lite beer, the calories from the beer would likely suffice.

Megaslow:

Because that would be alcohol abuse.

The amazing thing is that the DJ on our local radio station talked about this story within 15 minutes of it being greenlit.

Coincidence? I think not.

Bottom line: Beer saves lives. Drink to your health. Bottoms up!

I call shenanigans. How does he stop the piss from falling right back into his car? And even if this were to work, snow melts downwards, not up. Either this is fake or he's got one heck of a high-pressure nozzle in his pants.

Cute.

I guess he is lucky he didn't have 60 boxes of prunes.

vossiewulf: The one thing you can count on anyone drinking 60 beers is that they will pee, alot. This dude may have just been drinkin to die nice and drunk and the escape was just a side effect.

He was heard saying that it smelled like New Jersey

Missing for four days and he comes home drunk with this story. I can hear his wife now..."excuses, excuses, excuses."

Come on now, this has to be fake. This, if true would be the greatest story in the history of the world.

That is the greatest story of beer heroism I've ever heard.

to the morans that actually believe this story: hey i've got a bridge to sell ya. cheap.

I love this...whether its true or not, imagining the thought process, inclusive of getting thoroughly drunk in the process is priceless.

"Well, I'm going to die. Might as well be drunk. Besides, Alchohol raises your body temperature and maybe someone will save me."

Three beers later
"Man, I've got to piss. Ah well, might as well go in the snow. Not like anyone will care now."

Three more
"Alchohol sure does make ya have to piss. Good thing I like pissing...and its melting the snow, hee hee. Maybe I'll just PISS MY WAY OUT, hee hee hee!

Three more
"Piiiiisssssing in the Snow, I'm piiissssing in the snow, what a glorious feeling I'm ha-ppy again!..."

Three more
"Razzi Frazzin snow....snarfen flarfen....Aw shiat. I'm out...and its cold out here!"

awesome.

yeah zanstuff. wormtown represent!

what an idiot. why didn't he just dump the beer on the snow?

/ducks

There is also a reference to this tale in The Sun. That link's post-able, but doesn't validate the story it any. The Sun reports a lot of apocryphal crap.

Talk about your 40 Oz. to freedom.

All together now:

60 bottles of beer in the car,
60 bottles of beer...

I'm tempted to try this one at home.

Un farking real

I believe

Beer: What can't it do?

Not mentioned in the article...he fought off several St. Bernards & rescuers bravely until he was finished.

For Sale: 1995 Audi. Snow Tires, Great for ski trips.
Smells slightly like piss

PSA: Don't eat the yellow snow


YUCK.

i bet even the yellow snow tasted good.

This creep should be arrested and sodomized in a "pound you in the ass" prison. He was clearly under the influence while he was the operator of his motor vehicle while it was on the road.

Charge him with DUI - Drinking Under Inundation.

More proof...beer is good food.

60 bottles of .5 litre beer.

For the metric challenged, those are tall boys fellas.

/just saying

llarken:

I love this...whether its true or not, imagining the thought process, inclusive of getting thoroughly drunk in the process is priceless.

Your commentary is truly priceless,

My thoughts exactly.

Shenny-shenny-shenny-shenanigans!

This guy would be passed out and frozen to death after 20 beers.

/cue divine Ms. M.

Did you ever know that you're my heeeeeeerooooooo...?

And: absolutelychecken, he had 4 days to piss his way out, right? You can tackle 60 beers in 2-4 days, no problem.

lixivium

I call shenanigans. How does he stop the piss from falling right back into his car? And even if this were to work, snow melts downwards, not up. Either this is fake or he's got one heck of a high-pressure nozzle in his pants.

RTFA, here is a quore from the article.

"I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it."

If he had just dug, he would have had to fill his car with snow and even when the car is full, he still might not have broken through. So he simply melted the snow below his window and put more snow from above him into the hole below his window, repeat.

1. Pee and melt snow below window.
2. Dig snow from above window into hole below window.
3. Drink beer.
4. Repeat until free from car.

Megaslow: Why didn't he just pour the beer on the snow?

The same reason why he didn't use a cell phone to call the wife.

This is one of the greatest stories I have ever read.

/wipes tear

and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported


Brilliant!!!!!

Isn't Richard Kral a hockey player?

Crazy Slovaks.

hmmm. come spring thaw i dont think his cars gonna have that new car smell anymore.

Like Manna from Heaven!

He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday.

Holy crap, that's like eight gallons of beer. This guy is a one-man Oktoberfest!

This is probably been answered already, but I'm too lazy to check, heh. What he did was use the hot piss to melt out a basin next to the car that he could scoop snow into. Then when he'd filled it up with snow from above he'd piss again to compact it down.

Best story on Fark, true or not.

I believe in the POWER of beer! :)

Thats just the excuse Ive been waiting for - from now on Im carrying a case of beer in the car. That will show that biatch, mother nature, who's the boss! A mountain of snow? Bring it on!!!

Truly inspiring.

This is quite possible the single greatest story I have ever read.
