Well it tastes absolutely awful, but in a case where you need hydration and there is no other way (say you're absolutely sure there is no water nearby, or it looks like it might rain soon), then yes you can drink your own urine!. Bear Grylls demonstrated this on his survival show!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Alcohol is much more effective!. DO you have some liquor or even beer!? I would use that!. Soap and water would be good too!. Bandage the wound as best you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Definitely!. If you are brave and dehydrated you can also drink it but only do it a few times as some chemical builds up and can cause kidney or liver damage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Urine is sterile until it leaves your body!. So, in a word, no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
