"lara and lars are lost in forest during the winter when they come upon a saint bernard rescue dog with a cask of brandy strapped to its neck. "let’s drink the brandy. it will warm us up," says lars. "no, we should use the brandy to start a fire," says lara. who is right, and why? "

Lara is right.

Explanation:

We are all aware that many person gets lost amidst the dense forests and that too in winter not to mention the nerve cracking chillness. When Lara and Lars finds a dog with the Brandy that itself proves that they are really lucky mascots.

They should be brilliant enough to use the Brandy to start a fire and send an SOS to the eagle eyed Forest rangers. Lighting fire would be a brilliant idea as it would draw the attention of the life savers and to locate them easily through the smoke.

If Brandy consumed to keep them warm it’s just a temporary solution to keep the body warm. But after an hour it tranquilizes the brain and they might become a prey to the forest animals or even lost forever.
