Another 'Urinating to Freedom' Story

UPDATE: As it turns out, this story is complete bullshit. Slapnose apologizes for the error and promises to investigate all urine-related stories more carefully from now on.

According to Ananova, Richard Kral was off on holiday when the snow swallowed his Audi in the Tatra mountains. Initially, he tried to dig his way out via the car's window, but soon realised that the snow would fill the vehicle long before he could break free.

Mercifully, he had stocked up on essential supplies of alcohol and quickly formulated a cunning plan: "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."

Rescuers eventually found Kral staggering drunk on a mountain path four days after his ordeal began.

The Register

They don't mention how long it took him to get through 30 liters of beer (nearly 10 gallons). It's a singularly heroic feat regardless.
