is it dangerous to drink your own urine?!?

No, urine comes out of your body sterile.  I don't think it is dangerous, but what good would come of it?  It is the waste that your body doesn't want or need.

There is a condition called water intoxication but you really have to drink a lot of water.  It basically dilutes the electrolytes in your body to a degree that it can't function properly and is a life threatening condition.  I think someone would have to force themselves to drink that kind of volume, though, since it would not be easy.

Yes! That is so bad for you. Think of all that artificial sweetener just collecting into your liver and reeking havoc. Who knows what man made chemicals can do to a human over a period of time especially excessive amounts. Just drink water.

lol, I can see you have too much time on your hands if you are coming up with questions like this.\nI guess it is weird if you did it in the middle of the day in front of people. But if it was in your own garden and no one can see then I don't see the harm.\nAnd yes I do like to pee outdoors altough now I am a 'respectable' married woman I unfortunately can not get away with doing it.

No as what your body cannot use it will excrete in your urine.

Coke or an soda can be considered an irritant, it isn't necessarily going to "give" you a bladder infection. The infection is caused by  bacteria. However, excessive use may irritate you. Soda also dehydrates you, and for proper urinary health you should be drinking lots of water, and also cranberry juice. Your physician was definitely right in telling you that it could have made the bladder infection worse. Drinking too much coke-cola can aggravate the symptoms of an already existing bladder infection, and can possibly raise the chances of another one. Drinking soda in moderation is not bad, but over-use is not good. If I were you, I would cut out the soda for awhile, drink plenty of water, and even some cranberry juice(which is great for your kidneys). \nAlso, you mentioned that you've found yourself going to the bathroom more often, that is because the caffeine in coke-cola is a diuretic, it will make you urinate more. However, it is not really hydrating you, you actually lose water.\n\nI hope this helps a bit, good luck!

Okay little shaver...whoever told you this is pulling your leg. The next step is to get you to 'experiment' don't do it or you'll be known as a pee drinker for the rest of your life. There is a famous quote about sailors adrift without drinking water "water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink" it doesn't say "Here willy pee in me mug I gots me a terrible thirst to slack"

there is such a thing as water poisoning.  but for that you have to drink abnormal amounts of water(Gross amounts).\n\nas long as you are active and healthy, and eat a balanced diet, you can drink as much water as you want.  Most people don't drink enough water so look how lucky you are.\n\nI imagine that you will only have to worry about your water intake if your kidneys fail.

I've had one colonoscopy and had to drink about a gallon of some sort of electrolyte solution that was absolutely terrible. I understand they also have pills, but both are currently being researched for their effects on the kidneys. See if this recent medical article talks about the preparation you took and I wouldn't overreact to the initial research findings which may be unconfirmed as yet:\n\nhttp://www.upi.com/ConsumerHealthDaily/view.php?StoryID=20051227-040717-6095r

No, but to those who are thinking ewwww, lets think about this...\n\nPee is 95% water, 2.5 urea, and 2.5% salt, hormones, minerals, and enzymes.\n\nSo truthfully, it isn't all that bad for you. It contains no viruses, fungi, nothing.\n\nDid you know that urine is cleaner than spit? Imagine it. You are swimming and get some water in your mouth, so you spit it out. Spit can contatins bacteria and is filthy.\n\nAlso, think of aaalll those chemicals in the pool. Chlorine and other chemicals that the pool is treated with EVERY DAY! You think swallowing those chemicals is good for you? Sure, I would rather not drink urine, but compared to everything else in that pool...

Urine is sterile so no harm can come to you from drinking YOUR OWN urine. Don't drink other persons as illnesses and diseases can be passed this way.\n\nFecal matter can cause severe stomach trouble as there is a huge amount of bacteria in it! DO NOT eat feces, no matter whose it is.\n\nAnd no, I wouldn't eat human waste. As you stated it was an island so there would be oceanic foods available.

Yes.  A little drink is perfectly harmless (unless it's during a red tide or it's polluted).\n\nIt's only a serious problem when you are unable to drink anything else (like in a liferaft without fresh water).  The high salt content wouldn't quench your thirst for long and would just increase the salt in your body (further dehydrating you) and make you sick.

Sounds like you should find something else to drink...seriously.  Any reaction could get worse.

Yes it is safe to drink.  It is nasty tasting but not bad for you.  It has just been cleaned of all minerals and spirits that are in normal tap water.  Hospitals use it in humidifiers and respiratory machines.  So if it was bad the hospital wouldnt use the stuff.
