It is widely known that the urine is toxic, that is why the body wants it out. It contains toxins and acids that you can get your stomach sick quite badly if you drink it. And if you have an urinary infection on top of everything you can make it even worse to your body by drinking it. Sweat is also a mild type of urine, would you lick your armpits after a work out?

Urine is the body's waste. It's what the body doesn't want in it anymore. So I would have to go out on a limb here, but yes, it can make you sick. Whether you just get sick to your stomach and vomit, or you get something far worse, I can't say.
Have you tried this lately? I'm guessing plain ole' tap water would have been fine. You could even add a little lemon for some flavoring!!

Yes, even if its your own. Drinking urine is not good, even if you're dying of thirst and have nothing else to drink. There is a reason why your body is getting rid of it, and it doesn't need to be introduced back into your body.

No,a glass or two of piss will not make you sick..
Normal urine is a pretty sterile liquid..
I believe there is a Yogic tradition that has one drinking
his first urination of the morning...

drinking your own urine is actually called "urine therapy", and must be consumed right away, collected in a sterile jar.
lots of vital minerals etc are excreted and this way you drink them back in. obviously, do not consume your urine if you have a bladder or kidney infection, flu or are sick in general!!!

If you drink too much you can.
Urine (When fresh) is 100% sterile.
