Yes, some people feel drinking their own urine is good for their health. It isn't, but it's not particularity harmful.

It is true that some people drink urine. The greatest example is the ex- prime minister of india Mr. Morarji Desai.
It is said that he used to consume his urine(first) every morning empty stomach. This used keep him healthy and free from viral diseases. Another example is the greatest body builder ever to be born in India, Mr. A. Aich. Both of them survived for more than eighty years without falling ill. They used to consume their own urine not of other people. Consumption of self urine(first in the morning) helps to certain extent, but consuming urine of other people might be hazardous. Urine contains Uria,water,calsium, ammonia salt, plain water etc. which helps kill the infected bacteria. But one thing you should remember is that drinking of uria as a chemical might be very dangerous. In urine it is in a diluted form and with other soluble components. A sugar patient should consult his doctor and than consume urine. This is all i've in store for u....

Yes, its true. Those who drink them are called urinophiles. There was even a CSI episode which featured urine therapy for a person who wanted to stay beautiful (or something like that). You can get more info from here...

Hmmmmmmmm. Does it have to be one's own piss? Can't we expand on this and make it fashionable to drink other people's urine? Then, maybe there's a way to cash in on this action...like maybe I could open a chain of urine bars.

Yup, it's true. It sounds gross, but many people do this urine therapy, called UROPATHY.
They do this because there's no any other ways to cure their diseases. They believe it can heal cancer, hypertension, hepatitis, gall stones, Lyme disease, dysentery, cholera, etc.
It has been proved that this therapy is 100% safe, and they have certificates for it.

Or just google it.."urine therapy"

i know that people used to. im sure people still do. it used to be some sort of ritualistic thing hundreds of years ago. it is potentially harmful. obviously its not "good" for you because your body is rejecting it in the first place. i think if there is bacteria in it or if it is from someone else, then you will get serious health problems.
