if i was thirsty could i drink my pee?

Question

say if i was stuck with out water would that be ok?

Answer 1

From a holistic approach, some therapists would agree that you could. You are recycling the water your body loses. However, for you to continue drinking your own pee on a long term level you would still need to have another source of fluid intake as lack of fluids will mean lack of micturation (peeing).
Drinking urine isnt something i would do, but if you are one who does, I wouldnt advise doing it if you have a UTI :s

Answer 2

You can also drink it when you're not thirsty. It is supposed to give great health benefits it it is had first thing in the morning. In the morning when you pee let go a little after you start peeing and collect the rest and drink it. There are people who do it every morning and they claim it's great.

Answer 3

If you drink more and more soft drinks, you will become more and more thirsty. At the same time, if you drink lime juice with a little bit of salt, your thirst will be quenched.
