If it is necessary for survival then you can do it for a total of 2-3 times before it becomes toxic. This would only be in an extreme case to keep from dehydrating. Otherwise, remember that this is your body's waste...what wasn't needed...the leftovers that had no use. If you want to consume it that is entirely up to you; but, it holds no added benefit for you. If you needed what was in it then your body would not have eliminated it.

In an emergency you can drink urine. which, unlike the solids you pass, technically comes from inside the body and is, therefore, sterile. Repeated recycling, however, is dangerous.
I remember reading once about poor young native men in some foreign country, who would hide in bushes where drug-taking men came to empty their bladders. The youngsters would then catch the urine in their mouths and thus have a free fix. Don't let this give you any ideas.

I seen on a t.v show where this guy knows how to stay alive in any situation and the drink his own urine he said that even though it tasted bad that it was actually 90% water. So I dont think it would kill you in emergencys but you wouldnt want to do it on a regualer basis cause it can hurt you.

Not sure why you'd want to however it has been said if you are stranded without food or water, you can, as you say drink your own urine. Not something I would reccommend but I don't think I will harm you too badly if survivor type people say you can drink it if you are without food and water for long periods of time.

You can actually drink your urine up to 3 times before it becomes TOXIC. By the third time your body has filtered the same substance and it cant filter any more, so it is actually bad for you.

Yes , drinking anyones urine is bad for you. Urine has toxins that your kidneys removed from your body, you dont want those toxins back in your body. And why on earth would you want to drink urine?

There was a woman on tv the other day actually, who drinks her own pee every day,she even brushes her teeth and rinses them with pee,PLUS she rubs it all over her face to give her a better complexion...urghhhh,just had a feeling that she must stink,and if i was a man there would be no way on this earth that i would kiss her!!!.People do say that it's good for your body,but personally i think i'll stick to my coffee ta very much!! lol.
If you decide to try it,you should come back and let us know if the experiance was a good one or not....Enjoy!!!

Drinking your own urine is actually hazardous to your health. Because it contains toxins from human waste, so you're doing more harm than good for your body.

No it's not actually bad for you. People in countries such as Siberia and India have been doing it for years for medicinal purposes.
I wouldn't personally do it, not my thing at all, but some people have been doing it for centuries.
This article gives a few details. T
The practice is called Urine Therapy

In the word of Patches O'Houlihan...
"Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway, 'cause it's sterile and I like the taste. "
