Because of the chemical processes in the body, the liquid content of urine is *sterile*, so the drinking of it doesn't necessarily pose a health risk. Remember that episode of Friends when one of the characters got stung by a stingray and another character urinated on the wound? The character did so because the sterility of urine produces antiseptic benefits on such a wound.
The answer really is not whether you should drink it or not, but to what purpose? Remember that urine is ultimately a *waste* product, the end result of materials your body can't or doesn't want to use. So if your body rejected the fluid contents once before, it's fairly certain it will again.
In sum, though there's no obvious risk to drinking urine, there is no discernible benefit either. You'd be wasting your time with such a beverage.

If you are stranded in a desert, and have no other means of getting some water, as long as you drink only the clear urine, you will be alright...other wise, you might want to mix with some rum so you can really get a buzz ....

Why in Gods name are you drinking urine!!??!!! Find a water fountain! V-8 juice is healthy, drink that. YUCK!!!! Urine is sterile until it leaves your body. Unless you are dying from dehydration, do not drink your urine, & especially someone elses urine! You never know what someone else has floating through their kidneys. My God! What are you smoking buddy??

well its pretty pointless since urine is the excesses of what the body needs. Remember the kidneys are the bodies filter they filter out the excess. so why would you want to put that back in?

well urine is mostly water and relatively sterile.
In addition to the water content, urine contains trace elements of hundreds of other things from undigested alcohol to nitrogen and potassium, and sodium, which makes it such a salty taste. it probably wouldn't hurt or help anything.
