    You want to avoid the beginning and the end of the stream if you do, since in the beginning you flush the bacteria from your urethra (your pee-tube, basically) and at the end it's the dregs from your bladder.

    If you drink gallon after gallon of water you will suffer from hyperhydration - also known as water poisoning. Your body salts will be so diluted that your cells don't function properly. You can die from this.

    NO, not safe. Urine contains the toxins that your body could not break down and you can get very very very sick from drinking it. Maybe if you drank a ton of water it wouldnt be as bad...but I suggest just sticking with things that don't come out of your body.

    if ur in a deserted island and u have no choice but to drink ur own urine...its safe...after like the 3rd or fourth is when it gets dangerously toxic. urine contains lots of excess water that the body releases and a few vitamins.

    Well, I wouldn't suggest that you go have a glass of it right now but people who are stranded and have no water drink their urine to survive.

    Unrelated but interesting...

    Another thing that people in those situations do is suck on a rock (you can receive salt through this and salt=water!)

    Drinking fresh urine is totally safe, diluted or not, as long as you drink it within a few hours.

    You can actually drink your urine twice and eat your **** once if ever in a severe survival situation that would require you to do so without any serious side effects. any more than that and you are asking for trouble.

    Urine is sterile BUT!!!!

    You can only drink it three times. ie:

    You drink your urine, pee it out, drink it again, pee it out, drink it again, and then it's toxic. IT CAN BE FATAL. NO JOKE.

    We learned this in health class. LOL
