I recognize that last sentence from a movie....... I think it has Vince Vaughn....... I'd rather just poke a very small hole in my arm to allow a trickle of blood to come out and slowly drink that instead. I'd really prefer not to drink my own urine >.>

I'm pretty sure it has been proven that urine doesn't really hydrate you.... If I remember correctly, it dehydrates you even more.

Does he? See I wouldn't know because I barely watch television, but one day I had it on and was scrolling through the channels and came across this one episode for a small bit where he was using snake skin to keep the liquid, I dont remember if it was to keep it cool or clean. Don't know, but he looked like a bird trying to swallow a worm as he drank 'his own urine'.

The real question should be, "would you eat your own poop?"

Uh, no, drinking urine makes you more dehydrated, it's like drinking seawater, it has to high ion concentration and will just suck the water out of your cells, making you more dehydrated.

I won't go into details but I have tasted urine although not my own. Saltwater is a fairly good approximation....depends on how hydrated the person is. Just make sure no asparagus is involved.

Well I don't know if it is that extreme. I remember the Discovery Channel got into some hot water because a few times Bear stayed in a hotel because of some kind of illness while filming or something like that. Now they have a disclaimer before each episode stating that in life and death situations he and his crew may receive support. I think the important thing to remmeber is that the show is for your entertainment, people shouldn't take it so seriously.

No, mainly because it contains too much salt to be a viable source of nutrients.
