Well, lets use a little logic here. Urine is composed of toxic materials that your body needs to get rid of. Drinking urine increases levels of toxins and mimics the effects of early stages of kidney failure. So, drinking urine will cause you to live as long as someone with kidney failure, which is eventually fatal.

I simply wanted to state that the other poster's response was lacking completeness. Although urine contains toxins, these toxins constitute a very small percentage of the total volume of urine.
There are clinics in various countries that practice 'Urine Therapies" as a holistic health practice. I have many books on the subject and have used it myself for many years with great results. I must say I was quite the 'unbeliever' when first introduced to it...but since I am a natural health practitioner, I keep an open mind and checked it out. Turns out it was worth checking. There are even yearly Uropathy health conferences in the medical community - so again, educate yourself before you toss it aside as 'untrue'. And in answer to your question, Yes...many believe that you will live longer by using this therapy.

Urine is actually sterile. Thats right. You can drink it.

yes, there is something called 'urinotherapy' but i don't know if it will REALLY make one live longer -- likely it is just a myth....
