It is not unhealthy to drink urine. When it leaves the body it is sterile though it does risk becoming contaminated with bacteria while leaving the body from the surrounding skin of genitalia. On the other hand...There is no benefit in drinking urine, unless you are dying of dehydration and are unable to find anything else to drink. It was once believed to be good for cleaning wounds, but has since been revised as the bacteria picked up upon exiting might actually infect the wound.
Without knowing more of your friends philosophy on why they believe it is healthy to drink urine I can't say they are right or wrong. But I would advise you to listen to your instinct and common sense before deciding to do so yourself.

Now let's take this one step at a time. Do your friends use a recyclable system for gray water? Do they tell you that they actually drink fresh urine? If they are not pulling your leg then no they don't drink pee unless they are very weird and you should stay away from these people. And no, people is not a derivative of pee.

ok its not really healthy to drink urine its the liqued your body dosent need thats why you put it out of your sustem in the ancient times people used it as a mouthwash but not a drink the only time it would be good to drink your own urine is when your stuck in the middle of the ocean and have no water that sthe only time its healthy

I'm guessing this isn't a serious question - but if it was, no it's not healthy. Urine is full of harmful toxins (thus why your body gets rid of it).

it isnt healthy but it is sterile unless it cools down. but you can only drink it three times before it becomes too concentrated and is actually harmful. on the other hand who wants to actually drink it unless they are dying.

Ok are you serious!? Well some people say that it is good for you. I think it's gross. Are you sure your friend is serious?? I would not do that if I were you. Also talk to your parents about this.

SOUNDS LIKE A GROUP OF WEIRDOS THAT YOU WOULD DO WELL TO STEER CLEAR OF. URINE IS STERILE BUT AS FOR HAVING HEALTH BENEFITS I FIND THAT HARD TO SWALLOW. PUN INTENDED.
