yes, if you were in a situation where you needed to drink your pee...you can..and no, its not bad for you...it just might not taste great.

Yes you can drink your own pee, and no it isn't bad until you drink it at least 3 times...or something like that.

If you are lost in a desert or in the woods somewhere without water, then it is recommended to drink your urine. Urine is sterile if used when it's fresh. Just don't store it in a jar like Howard Hughes and expect to drink it later.

There is such a thing as urine therapy, devotees of which believe it to have therapeutic powers

no i can't drink my own pee,its bad health wise.

I don't think I would even want to try. I would not think it would be too healthy for you.

As your blood get filtered through the kidneys, the waste makes the urin. But a big part of it is just water. "In alternative medicine, the term urine therapy (also urotherapy, urinotherapy or uropathy) refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one's own urine and massaging one's skin with one's own urine. A practitioner of urine therapy is sometimes called a uropath." "Promoters of urine therapy believe urine to have many preventative and curative powers. Some cultures have traditionally used urine as a medicine, especially India's, where it is prescribed by the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi, which (among other uses and prescriptions) suggests massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine." "Urine's main constituents are water and urea. However, it contains small quantities of many hormones and metabolites, including corticosteroids. Urea has been claimed by some doctors to have an anti-cancer effect" "Despite these claims, there has been no research that has found drinking urine to be useful for any illness. However, human urine is normally relatively free of bacteria, since the bladder itself is normally a sterile environment. However, the urethra does contain bacteria, and this is why many physicians ask for a urine sample mid-stream, in order to allow the first few seconds of urination to wash out the bacteria within the urethra., and drinking small amounts of one's own urine is unlikely to be seriously harmful" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy

They beleive it has medicinal and health propeties which only pee can give. They usualy drink their first pee of the morning. (can i go puke now please?)

For the tangy goodness.

i would only do this if deprived of water to sustain my life, any other circumstances would just boggle my mind.

They do??

To recycle...everyone's gotta do their part to makes this a greener world right?

they are thirsty

its supposed to be healthy but if its so healthy why did youre body dispose of it in the first place?

For some it is a turn on.

Its strengthens the immune system

I think some people believe it keeps you youthful.

Yes, you can drink your own pee. It is supposedly very healthy to do so. I have read a lot about urine therapy.

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DRINK YOUR OWN PEE IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION. Whoever said that is either a fucking moron, or making a sweeping generalization. For instance, the army survival manual recommends never to do it. There are just so so so many factors that could cause you harm from doing it (including potassium buildup D:) That being said .... you can survive longer by drinking your pee in a dehydration situation. Generally a few days. Altho, if you are injured it could kill you. If you do it continuously you will suffer renal breakdown ... aka kidney failure. Basically if you drink your own piss long enough (without taking in fresh water) you are purifying it into poison. It is not a magic number like 3 times ... lol if you DONT KNOW ... then DONT POST. Urine is completely sterile at the moment it leaves your body, but will become grounds for bacteria VERY quickly. Storing and then drinking is not too smart ;) Urine is about 95% water and 5% toxins ... not sure how bad it gets as you continue to drink your own urine without ingesting fresh water. Have fun :)

"Its very healthy" You are a fucking moron ;)

You could drink it without hurting yourself, such as in cases of extreme thirst/dehydration. However, it's a biproduct of the body's filtration system and is meant to be expelled. That's why it comes out when it does.

Yes. Add some Kool Aid to it. My 2 cents.

if you filter it you can if you drank it straight it would be bad for you.

Monkeys love to drink their own pee. I'll take a glass of lemonade thank you very much.

It's sterile. An adequate, yet bad tasting way of keeping yourself hydrated if you run out of water in an emergency.

you are taking the piss (literaly) aren't you?

Surviorman said, it's toxic and not to drink it.

yes you can. its not good for you. in a life or death situation (e.g. im trapped under rubble after an earthquake and waiting for them to dig me out and im totally dehydrated) you can drink it. but otherwise, dont do it. why gandhi and all those other indians do it is beyond me. yuck.

i love the taste of my pee

I just don't see why you would or could drink your own urine unless it was to survive, but even then I don't think it would be very tasty...Pee is bodily waste, meaning it should be removed instead of reintroduced into the system.

yes, because pee is 95% water. So its safe.

your body expells alot of toxins from your body through urination so what do you think?

ewwwwwwww

.......I'd be the one standing there saying "Dude look theres a water fountain right over there!"
