So, hypothetically speaking of course...
You and your best friend are on a hike. Your friend thinks he/she knows a shortcut and you follow. It turns out that they were wrong and you end up lost. The two of you ration what supplies you have left as you wander around for the next 7 days. You both know at this point there is an extremely low chance of survival (less than 1%). You've managed to keep 12 oz of water as well as 12 oz of you favorite beer. Now, you both know that if you drink the water, you can survive 1 more day (but only 1 more, 99% chance you perish after that day). If you drink the beer, you die that day.
Which do you drink?

Kill your friend, drink the water, then drink the beer the next day.
Alright, my answer requires a few assumptions.
ReplyDelete1. My friend is a lady friend
2. The beer is in a glass bottle
3. I don't mind going to hell
So, given that we have been lost for so long, I would just pound the beer with my lady friend in the hopes of getting real drunk due to the massive dehydration and exhaustion. Seeing that death is on the horizon, my lady friend and I would then bang in our drunk stupor b/c we might not live another day. I would then break the empty glass beer bottle and use it to kill my lady friend. I would then eat her in an attempt to survive a few more days waiting for rescue. I would use the bottle of water to wash and cleanse my "junk" fearing the worst because I don't know where my lady friend has been.
Now in the case that my assumptions were not met, I would choose Jon's answer.
Enjoy.
Pull a Bear Grylls... Drink the water, then wait to pee and drink that. Repeat.
ReplyDeletedrink the water to live another day ... then drink the beer to go out with a bang!
ReplyDeleteI'm with BennyHaha, except I'd skip cleansing my junk and save the bottled water to wash down my lady friend's kidneys. By far, the worst tasting part of a lady friend are the kidneys. They are the worst.
ReplyDeleteStep 1: Drink the beer. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit.
ReplyDeleteHaha, fabulous answers! I'm with Ken though...his makes the most sense to me.
ReplyDeleteSince MD tells me my answer is invalid because I can't have both drinks unless I kill my friend, I'll revise my response as follows:
ReplyDeleteSince my friend is the one who got us into this whole mess, I'd ask him which beverage he prefers, then take that one and leave him with the other one that he doesn't want. Take that, b!tch.
I would drink the beer, because hey free beer!
