Its not exactly healthy, but you can sustain yourself on it if necessary. Urine is a mostly sterile liquid that is made up of all the h2o and excess minerals that your body did not use. The military tought us that you could sustain yourself on urine for three to four helpings abandoned in a desert without water before poisoning yourself.
So the clean answer no its not healthy for you but it won't halrm you unless you overindulge.

Urine is sterile, but it is the stuff that your body doesn't need - WASTE. It can't hurt you to drink it, but there are organizations/cultures that believe it keeps you looking young. You'll have to do some research to figure out what these cultures believe is the reasoning about this.

Through old Chinese medicine some have made some cures through their own urine and have drank there own urine and have worked However I would not attempt it. I think it is nasty and no way would do it even for $1000000.

If that is you in the pic I doubt you should be concerned about doing anything new to keep healthy. Keep up the good work, and stick to beverages dispensed from inanimate containers.

No but normally it is clean so there's nothing really bad about doing it. To each his own I guess

Yes, if you want to drink your own urine. Knock yourself out. (KIDS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME)!
