Amazing!
I'd like a beer, 70-year-old says after icy 6-day ordeal in Alps

MAINZ, Germany -- A 70-year old German man was rescued Tuesday from the Austrian Alps, where he was stuck for six days in a crevasse nearly 10,000-feet above sea level.
The man, who was not named, survived by eating rations of a chocolate bar and drinking melted glacier water, officials said.
Medical officials expressed surprise that he had survived for so long in such icy conditions.
"One of the treating physicians told us that one of the first things the 70-year-old asked for was a beer with a shot of lemonade," said Johannes Schwamberger, spokesman for the hospital in Innsbruck, Austria, where the man was being treated after his rescue.
