Ewww…
Using people’s bodies as portable water filters doesn’t seem like a very good idea. But apparently, there are group who drink their own urine as some kind of miracle elixir. I don’t don’t get this at all. Doesn’t your body filter this stuff out for a reason? Why are you putting it back in? I’m all about being healthy, but I have my limits. And those limits include drinking my own bodily wastes. So, no I will not be jumping on this bandwagon.
There is a discussion of this topic over at Metafilter. There is one guy who commented and the comment cracked me up. The guy before him said he didn’t think he could bring himself to drink his own urine. This guy says and I”m quoting, ‘Yeah, me neither…plus I’d probably get it all in my hair.’ I almost fell out of my chair.

As seen on an episode of ‘Friends’, I wasn’t aware urine was good for much other than the occasional jellyfish sting! Yuck and O.

The idea is a bit gross to me, and the comment is hilarious. I remember being told that you could survive for a while drinking your own urine but after a while it would make you sick.

Do you ever watch Adult Swim on The Cartoon Network? If so, there’s a show callled Morel Orel and they did an episode where the kid Orel not only drinks his urine, but bottles it as an energy drink for his teammates!
I’ve hear this before, and read that while it’s nor encouraged, except in dire emergency, it is safe to drink your own urine. But! It’s not safe to drink your buddy’s . Just a word to the wise!
Smacks of kinky to me, but what do I know

If I’m dying and the only thing that can save me is drinking my own whiz, I guess I’m dying!
