Remember, urine is your body's WASTE by products. Its everything the rest of your body is throwing out. Metals, minerals, and other toxins along with some good things such as excess vitamins. Would it make you sick? Who knows, it would depend on your health and what was in your urine at that time. However its never a good idea to chance it, is it?
ps besides it leaves a nasty aftertaste.

Urine is essentially sterile; however, you won't believe how bad it will taste. About the only time you would ever want to even consider drinking your "pee" would be around the 2nd or 3rd day on a lifeboat when it didn't look like you were going to get rescued anytime soon. What would you have to lose then anyway/? (I've never tried it, but that's what I learned in U.S. Navy training).
A better idea would be to try catching rain water, or even catching and eating a fish, i.e., if you were on that raft and not expecting a rescue right away.

Urine from a healthy person is sterile. Drinking one's own urine is practiced by some people for various reasons. I read an article about it in the Dallas Morning News a few years ago. It's not something I would want to do myself. I f you want more info I'm sure you can find it on the Internet.

I am no expert but although it may be sterile (meaning it is clean of bacteria) it will eventually make you sick. If you drink it once, you will probably be fine, but by the 3rd time (if you were on a raft in the ocean) it would be so completely drained of anything beneficial that it would actually become poisonous.
If you were drunk and someone tricked you at a party - you should be fine...

No you won't get sick. Urine is sterile, so even though it's waste, it's filtered, sterile waste. You'll probably gag though. A good part of taste has to do with smell, so I can't imagine you'd be able to stomach it.

urine is a discharge of waste. we urinate because our bodies don't meed the excess water. I'm not an expert but, I would guess it would not be wise to drink your pee. Our body releases it so i'm sure you shouldn't put it back in your body orally.
