ajzepp Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Maybe I'm just not on my game today....but I'm thinking you must be a major fuktard to die of dehydration when you're stuck in a snow drift. he lost 16 pounds in 3 days...in freezing weather???? I could see if he was in the dessert....how do you lose that much weight that quickly??? When your body has to maintain temperature in freezing conditions, your caloric needs will skyrocket as a result. The calories from the beer were no doubt inadequate (and that's not a knock on beer...we all know beer is perfect) and so his body started relying on itself for the calories. It will break down glycogen stores first (in your liver) and then move on to stored fat and then muscle. It is surprising he lost that much in only three days, especially if he had access to a heater intermittently, but the conditions were extreme.

Jim in Anchorage Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I never thought a Alaska native sitting in a snow bank for 3 days drinking beer [or anything] would be news. Edited December 6, 2011 by Jim in Anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a knock on beer, it's a knock on the type of beer. Not only did the moron get stuck in a snow drift but got stuck with lite beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its shuts down your organs especially if your just sitting there... if you moving around you can get away with it but not if your stuck Shivering is like a non-stop full body workout.

ajzepp Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Maybe it was yellow snow .... lol, I'm assuming that must be it, cuase otherwise I can't think of any reason not to utlilize it. Snow = water (dirty water, but water), and water = good. It may not be a ideal source, but it's better than death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
