I like escalators, because an escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an "escalator temporarily out of order" sign, just "Escalator temporarily stairs... sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there."

Okay...in her defense...it's not always going to KILL you. There are generations of people who regularly drink their own urine and India even has a NAME for it. Ick...guess it's one of those "natural healing methods". It's well documented that people CHOOSE to drink their urine every day as a form of healing. I don't get it...nore would I DO it...but there are plenty of people, alive and well, who drink pee.
That being said, there is a distinct difference between drinking your healthy, hydrated urine, and drinking borderline dehydrated urine. I think those differences have been laid out quite well by other members.
I think if you WANT to try and drink your urine in a survival situation you need to be smart about it. Clearly you should NEVER drink your urine if it's a dark color or have a weak stomach like me.

Sooo. If you died drunk in the desert would they have to pump your stomach to do a urinalysis? This is getting waaaay too complicated.
Of course, the other thing you can do is squeeze water out of elephant poop. That would eliminate the need to worry about urine. Of course you have to go to Africa or India to find an elephant and, personally, I'd stop some place along the way and get a drink. But that's just me.

The original title to this is "will drinking urine save your life?' My answer is "maybe, but you're reputation will be in the toilet once it gets out." And why is BG talked about so much on here? Because he & Mykel Hawke are the only 2 people that have gone public advocating that it's okay to drink untreated urine. While there may be documented cases where somebody's life was saved doing this, how do we know what consequences they might have suffered later as a result?

Concerning the articles about people drinking urine in survival situations, perhaps it should not read that they survived because they drank urine, but rather that they survived despite drinking urine. Just say no to the wizz!
Preach It - Teach It - LIVE IT
Urine is a valuable survival resource, but not for drinking straight. One can extract the water from urine using a simple distilation process (perhaps using a simple solar still,) collecting and drinking the distillate, while the cocentrated remains can be used for the production of explosives if enough is collected over time. I'm sure there are many places you can go online to find exact instructions for both processes, so I will not go into either. Suffice it to say that one should not drink raw urine, just like one should not drink sea water without distilling it first. No, you can't reclaim enough moisture from your own urine to keep you alive for very long by itself, however it could extend your other water resources by perhaps 10-15% which could make all the difference in a desperate situation.

I asked my broker where to put my money. He said canned food and ammo.
I think I'll just invest in ammo. Roasted zombies are mighty tasty you know.
Especially the young and tender ones. Napalm sticks to kids!

FUN WITH PEE http://www.urinecolors.com/fun_with_pee.php
Can you drink urine?
While many people have claimed some beers tastes like pee, urine is actually supposed to taste salty (due to the trace amounts of chemicals)… we’ll just take someone else’s word for it about the taste of pee. As far as pee being safe to drink… urine is indeed sterile. Your urine is also mostly water. So, that means it’s safe to drink pee? It probably won’t hurt you if you your body is strong and you are healthy. Urine does, however, contain tiny amounts of different chemicals, which can harm a less healthy person. It’s not recommended to drink pee unless it’s a matter of survival. Plus, ewww!
