Drinking urine is not safe or advisable. Urine contains waste products, bacteria, toxins, and other compounds that the body is trying to eliminate. Consuming urine can make a person feel sick, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and can even lead to infections or kidney strain. Despite some ancient and alternative medicine practices, there is no scientific evidence that drinking urine provides health benefits. In fact, drinking urine can increase dehydration and electrolyte imbalances rather than alleviate them. Therefore, urine should not be consumed as a source of hydration or medicine.
