Where does urine come from when not drinking?

The urine is the body's way of disposing off unwanted materials. Even if not drinking as such you might get a lot of fluid from various fruits and vegetables. Even so.

How long can a person survive drinking urine?

Surviving on urine is not advisable, as it is not a sustainable source of hydration or nutrition. While urine is primarily composed of water, it also contains waste products that the body has expelled, which can lead to dehydration and toxicity if consumed over time. Some survival scenarios suggest that drinking small amounts of urine might provide temporary relief, but it is not a viable long-term solution. Generally, a person would likely face serious health issues within a few days to weeks if relying solely on urine for hydration.

How do you drink your own pee?

I'm a physician. Drinking urine is foolish. Your body is trying to get rid of it for a reason. However, 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.
