Man urinates his way out of avalanche

I saw this on Fark. It may or may not be a hoax.

Yeah, heard that. If true, that's pretty cool.

Hoax or not, seems like it could work. Although I think he would have had better luck just pouring the beer straight on the ice. Not as warm, but I suspect he'd get more mileage out of the liquid that way.

Ah, but where is the fun in that.

Now I wonder if I should start keeping a couple of six packs in the car just for emergencies!

Frankly I really don't see why pee on the snow helped him in any way. Seems like a dubious story to me. Either a hoax, or a drunkard's excuse for having drank 60 bottles of beer in a row. :\
