An Arizona man owes his life to beer, well that and some crackers, a rotting sandwich, and his ability to stomach a glass of his own urine.
According to ABC News, Mick Ohman was returning to Phoenix after a trip to Crown King a former gold mining town in Arizona’s Bradshaw Mountains, when he got sidetracked by Google Maps (haven’t we all?), and ended up in a rough desert region where his SUV suddenly broke down.
And even worse, than not being sure exactly where he was, the 55-year old had no cell phone signal to call for help… but he did have beer.
Actually what he had was a half-bottle of water, two beers, a moldy sandwich and crackers which quickly disappeared as he fought off the sweltering heat and was forced to transition to drinking his own urine.
On his third day stranded in the desert, Ohman spotted a dirt biker on the horizon who was able to take him to safety.
On drinking his own urine, Ohman told ABC News, “I was surprised it wasn’t as obnoxious as I thought it would be. The temperature was what got me, as warm as it was”.
Unfortunately ABC News neglected to ask him about his beer…which can sometimes become more flavorful as it warms.
