An Alaska motorist put a positive spin on knocking back a few brewskis while behind the wheel -- when he survived three days in a snowdrift by eating the contents of frozen cans of Coors Light.

Clifton Vial set out to see where an unfamiliar road near his home would take him, but after driving 40 miles, he found he was lost, stuck and out of range of a cell phone signal. The temperatures dropped to 17 below zero, and Vial had nothing to eat except the beer -- which he said he ate "like cans of beans" in order to survive.

His employers called emergency personnel when he didn't show up for work for two straight days, and he was rescued shortly thereafter, colder but wiser. "I shouldn't have been out there by myself, unprepared for what I knew was possible," he said.
