A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

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."

Hilarious!

In Pennsylvania he would be charged with a DUI !

The avalanche may have been caused by Bush's environmental policies.

I agree Jack. After reading some of the local stories. Unbelievable.

See? Drinking IS life saving after all.

That's how I would have done it!!

That man sounds like a real go-getter!

I would have drunk the beer & fallen asleep.

We all have our own survival/defense mechanisms.

I personally believe it is just a good excuse for why he drank all the beer. He got bored. I would do the same thing. The peeing out the window and melting the snow just happened. Then he thought....hum...this is a good excuse. Let me make up a story. Yea, been there. Done that.

All I could think when I was reading this was...I wish there was some way that there was a picture taken of him pissing out a pile of snow in his car, cause it would have made a great "Beat our Caption".

"simple tasks like writing his name were no longer challenging enough as 42 year old Gary Marlar now tries to set a record by peeing a graph of his complete family tree.

And for dinner, he ate yellow snow???
