If you were in a desert and there was nothing around to drink except...

Disease Ridden

... i) a 6 pack of beer and ii) dilute gravy....would you drink either??

:cool:

Random

Have I missed something? Clearly I have.

Anyway, I'll take the beer and the blonde girl (you see her after drinking the beers).

Zaph

I too am failing to see the problem. Unless of course it was a 6 pack of that American shíte that cannot be named, in which case I'd survive on the gravy for as long as I could before succumbing to a long, lingering, painful death secure in the knowledge that I didn't let myself or the Brotherhood down by drinking that stuff.

Sleipnir

I'd drink neither and die smugly, knowing that I'm the only one with the answer as to what I should have drunk had I wanted to live.
Check....mate.

joes girls

beef or chicken......:rolleyes:;)

Thing is though, both liquids dehydrate you. Although drinking some liquid, within reason, as opposed to none, would at least maintain your blood pressure and would stave off fainting or extreme weakness for a very temporary time.


However, if the beer in question did happen to be that yellow chemical stuff that Zaph referenced...than I wouldnt see any point in prolonging the inevitable shrinkage of the brain.

so beef then........:);):)

If it's a good beer and no chance of Survival anyway, Drink the Beer, break the cans and make it sharp, top yourself. No use in starving to death.


If it's a bad beer, empty it, and continue with same as above.

.

The dehydration effect from a six pack of beer wouldnt be much tbh, especially if you drink it slowly. I'm not sure why you thik dilute gravy is dehydrating - saltiness maybe - but I'd still drink it if it meant surviving.
Mind you it would be last option after the beer!

Naos

I fail to see the issue. Nothing to drink but beer and/or gravy?

I'd get a drinking and get a stumbling towards civilisation.

Beefken.........it's when you stuff a chicken with beef.:)

I'm still confused here.

copacetic

wouldn't you just drink the water than apparently you were previously using to dilute the gravy?

Drink the can, rip it apart, and use the shiny insides to signal help?

Beer Scooter's, Beer Coat and Kebab Compass are the best things in the world!!! They work wonders.

I'd just let back the beer and top myself while happy, before it ended up like lost. Being in a sh*te show like that would be a fate worse than death. I mean watching it is bad enough!

Disease Ridden

I should mention that the gravy is pre-prepared. Unless you have some sort of seperation apperatus, the only way you're getting water out of it is if you drink the whole mixture!!

Heres another one- Would you drink a can of condensed milk in said desert, as you grow delerious with dehydration? If it was my only choice I would just grab the can and try to knock my brians out!

Mr.Applepie

I have decided to answer this question as I first read it

QuestionIf you were in a dessert and there was nothing around to drink except... i) a 6 pack of beer and ii) dilute gravy....would you drink either??

Answer I really don't see a problem here but this would be my most likely course of action:

Step1: Eat a tunnel through the dessert (I'm imagining some sort of pavlova)
Step2: Hopefully by the time I have eaten my way out of the dessert my OH will have made a nice meal which could do with some gravy.
Step3: While having my gravy soaked meal I'd tuck into the beer (I'm presuming this is good beer)
Step4: Return to the giant dessert and finish it off!

Make a solar still out of an empty beer can.
This way you could even convert that american muck into a drink.

Course if you do it properly you would also get some whiskey which you could trade with the natives, give then a taste of the old firewater and they'll let you borrow their satellite phone and you'll be back home in time for last orders.


Lack of water is not a problem in the worlds biggest desert, Antartica.

Don1

Worlds largest dessert?

Agent Smith

Is the beer kept in a cooler?



warm beer is pretty mank tbh.
