A lot of people drink their own urine for health reasons, and the trend is
growing. There are toxins and things in there that would concentrate after
passing through you a few times and become dangerous, but urine is actually
completely sterile, which is why weeing on open wounds is a good idea if you
are lost in the jungle or something.
As an aside, it is funny that people say 'drinking your own urine', as if
drinking your own is much worse than drinking someone else's :?)
