Yes, but it has to be fresh.
Fresh urine contains no bacteria. It is actually an antiseptic.....in ancient times, fresh urine was poured on open wounds to prevent infection.
You would have to be able to deal with it though...the concept, flavor, etc. Some people are squeemish.

All body fluids are supposed are supposed to be sterile ,They are all ok. But as kidney excretes some waste products through the urine it is not a good substance to drink, But as It contains lots of water and faced with dehydration it is good drink before you get water.

yea u can drink it but it does have to be fresh tho, because once you let it sit tha acids build up and get stronger and cause bacteria and you'd die from a swolen toung or a closed throught or even just basically poisening yourself but be mindful not to waste any because you are going to peeing out the same urine for a long period of time because you are actually putting back all the baterica that your body is trying to get ride of. So basically you will be drinking it over and over again.

Very scientific question, however, they've done it -I think in the porn industry already, not for de-hydration problems though, but for the sake of fetish hardcore actions! Honestly, I got once my pee tasted by a guy. to be honest with you, he didn't like it, he did like the other stuff that comes out of girls -usually you know after long nice intercourse, I think that should help him in any dehydration problems and gets me more pleasure!

Drinking urine is OK so they say provided it is the early morning wee and drunk fresh it should be fine. As for dirnking my own I guess if I was in a situation similar to what you mention then yes I might consider it

There have been cases of guys trapped in a building collapse who drank each others urine and stayed alive. The same way, a guy lost in the desert drank his to remain hydrated.

well, instead of drinking it like that, if you were in a place like a desert, you could put it in a large bottle, lay the bottle flat, and that way the water evaporates to the top, while the other stuff gets left on the bottom.
