Drinking your own urine

Nope, because it's a one way system for a reason.

Well you can't exactly eat or drink with it, it be painful.

Fresh urine is effectively sterile, so even though it probably wouldn't taste too good - in a survival situation it could be the only course. I'd much rather find an alternative way of hydration such as rainwater or edible plants or fruit.
As a rule, other animals don't drink their own piss.
I've never seen my dogs or cats doing it, I've never seen cows or bulls doing it. So I'll go with the flow, if you'll excus the expression. In another post you shared you concern about the unknown chemicals that lurk in our food chain. Now you seem to be considering the merits of re-ingesting the very waste products that your kidneys have just gone through all the trouble of eliminating. Doesn't make any sense.

Apparently urine drinking has been practiced for quite a long time as a 'health remedy' !!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/...67303.html "One of the prime movers in the movement, Martha Christy (author of Your Own Perfect Medicine) says that the first toilet visit of the day is the most beneficial. She recommends a regime beginning with five drops of "fresh morning urine" under the tongue before gradually increasing the dosage to as much as a cupful, morning and night. Urine can also be used as eye and ear drops, for gargling with or in the bath." "Sceptics have even poured cold water on the theory that it can save lives on the high seas or frozen mountain tops. They say that the concentration of nutrients such as sodium will take more water to get rid of than is present in urine - meaning it will dehydrate you rather than helping to keep you hydrated." "Helen Andrews, of the British Dietetic Association, said: 'There are no health benefits to drinking your own urine, and in fact I think it could be quite detrimental. Each time you put it back it will come out again even more concentrated and that is not good for health as it could damage the gut. If you are stranded, your body will try to conserve as much water as it can. Drinking your urine would be like drinking seawater.'" Would I drink my own bodily fluids, no, they have come out for a reason, my body does not require them any more.
