What happens when you drink ur pee? Asked By Brandon

January 18th, 2011

Replied By Princess: "Pee is sterile. It can go through your body twice before it becomes toxic. Some people believe that drinking it in moderation can be healthy, because apparently what is in the pee reflects how the body is working. These people believe that the body recognises the pee and as a result it helps to rectify simple problems in function. In the past I have heard that doctors have actually tasted pee from a patient to guess what was wrong with them. This was on 'horrible histories' which is a British TV program full of bizarre but true things what happened in the past. In the past drinking urine was done much more for health reasons. Now only a small minority of people do it because it is seen as unhygienic. Germ theory was not developed until the late 1800s so people did not know how diseases were spread. You may catch things from drinking other people's pee, but drinking your own is perfectly harmless as long as you do not let it go through your body too many times. In the dessert people have survived off their own pee for a day or two due to lack of water. It all depends on if you would drink your own pee or not. Many people would throw up if they tried lol."
