What if you drink your own pee?

Answer 1

Yes. it doesn't taste good but it is just like drinking water. please don't try it! i had to because i was in a high school truth or dare with the hottest boy so i did it. P.s. best decision EVER! he's my husband now.

You would only do something like this if you were in a situation like 9/11 buried underneath all that debris. You can increase survival time for 3 to 10 days by drinking urine...

Answer 2

I'm a physician. Aside from the fact that urine will have an unpleasant flavor, it is sterile and harmless. Contrary to what a few people think, there is nothing healthy about drinking urine, since it is composed of waste products your body is trying to get rid of. A person without any access to water could keep himself hydrated a bit longer by drinking his urine, but over several days the body would make less and less of it, since the amount of water in the urine is only the amount needed to flush waste products from the body, plus any extra water the body doesn't need. Each time urine is drunk the body has that much more waste products to eliminate, and if no other liquid is drunk, the body will become more and more dehydrated, and the amount of water in the urine will get smaller and smaller until kidney failure sets in.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. It would depend upon the conditions and your mindset. See Related Links. But it is not recommended as a survival tip.
