    They buried this lead. You don't find out until the 18th graph that he lived for three days on frozen beer.

    They didn't "save his life." They kept him from getting really really hungry.

    Do you have to take everything so seriously?

    Are they sure it wasn't frozen urine?

    I could see where that would be easily mistaken...

    I don't see how. One would be smelly and nasty-tasting. The other would be dog urine.

    This is why we need copy editors: The story first says that he drank frozen Coors Light but, in another reference, it's called beer.

    This is a really obvious follow-up joke. But one that made me laugh - out loud even.

    If it's a choice between Coors Light and death? Goodbye cruel world.

    I got no problem with coors and coors light. Why the hate?

    Coors Light is barely beer. It tastes like water.
