Answers:
You can drink it, it's sterile, and as long as it's fresh, and you don't have any UTIs bacteria free!. It is, for the most part completely safe!. That said, it is all the stuff your body didn't want first time through, and probably won't taste very pleasant!. I imagine it would be warm, salty and acidic tasting!.

"Clear" pee is mostly water, and yes, it's true the more you drink, the more diluted the stuff your body is looking to get rid of will be, but my understanding of the body is that it will never be pure water!.

The human body is not very efficient, and some people even claim drinking urine is of some medical benefit, in that it gives your body a second chance to get some of the "good bits" which were unnecessarily filtered first time, though this is at best speculative!.

You would mostly be very safe to do so, if you want, though it is a hard one to recommend to anyone!. If you were stranded, without water, and on the verge of dehydration, then yes, go right ahead (though if you were on the verge of dehydration, you wouldn't be peeing anyway, so you would have to start storing it early on in this situation)!. But in the civilized world, with water on tap and better drinks readily available, it's hard to know why you would want to!.

If you're gonna do it though, my suggestions would be!.!.!.
1!. Don't drink your first pee of the day, or the one you've been waiting for hours to "relieve yourself" of!. It'll be more concentrated, stronger tasting and harder to stomach, and has more chance of containing "nasties"!.

2!. Don't do it if you have any reason at all to believe you may be suffering any infection "down there"!. Don't run the risk of spreading bacteria around your body!. If the smell or colour are particularly strong, or different from normal, you may have an infection, see a doctor!. If there is any pain peeing or blood in the urine, you have bigger problems than drinking your pee, SEE A DOCTOR!.

3!. If you have drunk alcohol, or taken drugs recently, don't drink your pee!. Unprocessed alcohol and drugs could, in theory, be present in the urine, and could cause you problems!. also, don't think drinking pee is a "free high" it's not, the compounds in the alcohol or drugs could be significantly changed while in your body and could do you serious damage!. Your body is flushing them out for a reason!.

4!. Don't be tempted to refrigerate it to make it easier to go down!. While fresh pee is sterile, it can grow bacteria quickly!. If you must drink it, do it while it's fresh!. It'll be warm, and probably not pleasant, but that's the price you pay!.

5!. Drink lots of water before trying it!. As you said, the more water you drink the more diluted it'll be, and therefor the easier to drink it'll be!. Just because it's clear though, don't expect it to taste just like water, though have no frame of reference for it, i imagine it probably won't!. Don't set your sights too high!. I repeat, it probably won't be pleasant!.

6!. Under no circumstances be tempted to drink someone else's pee!. It should go without saying, yet i feel i should say it (you're considering drinking pee for a friend, so who knows where it could lead) it has all the above problems (infection, as well as added STI issues, alcohol, drugs, no way of knowing how diluted it will be) with the added problem of not knowing whether they are telling you the truth about these things!.

7!. Ask yourself!.!.!. is this really something i want to do!. Why are you even considering this!? although some people enjoy it, or have particular sexual enjoyment out of this sort of thing if you're doing it just because your friend told you to, is it really worth doing!? What really do you stand to gain from it!? If you don't have a good answer to that, then don't do it!.

In fact, my recommendation to most people is DON'T DO IT!. Really, there isn't any good reason to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

So here's the answer: Yes, you can drink clear urine!. You can drink any urine!. It's not toxic, and will just be filtered back through your body!.

And here's the why:

Okay, first urine is just liquid waste!. It's generally made up of urea, salts, and organic compounds!.

Now, if you were to only drink water(As in, you'd eaten nothing), your urine would be, once your body filtered out everything else, water!. Mostly(It still contains things like salts, because our bodies are inefficient that way) But I'm assuming that you are in fact eating on a regular basis!. Everything you eat is broken down for use in your body!. The things that CAN'T be used are disposed of by urine or feces!. Just because they can't be used doesn't mean they're bad, it just means that your body has no use for them!. Thus, you can re-consume them without harm!. Unless you have a Urinary tract infection!.

I wouldn't advise it, and no, it would help you if you're dehydrated and in a desert, because everytime it filtered through it would become most concentrated, thus containing less and less water!.!.!.!. you get my point!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your friend is having you on!. The only way to drink it with no harm is to distill it first!. People who are shipwrecked and ignorant may consider it but you are talking about taking waste into your body and it would require more water to dispose of the waste a second time!. Add to this the possibility of the transmission of hepatitis!. Don't let your friend talk you into it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wonder why people are so obsessed with whether they can drink their urine!. You never ask whether you can drink mud or shampoo or !.!.!.!. well I dunno!.

It's just a strange question to me!. Why would you drink it!? You probably have tasty drinks in your refrigerator and water in your tap, no reason to go for the pee!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Technically any liquid is DRINKABLE!.!.!.the question is whether or not it would induce a reaction from your body or even kill you!. And no, no matter how much water you drink, your body still expels waste through your urine, so it's never as pure as drinkable water!.!.!.!.!.!.you can try it if you want!Www@FoodAQ@Com

That guy who has a survival show on the Discovery channel, Bear Grylls, did it!. And it wasn't clear!.
