Never Drink Your Own Urine
Bear Grylls, a well-known survival "expert," advises those who may be near death from dehydration in the wild to drink their own urine to stay alive. This dude keeps giving this very awful advise. Thus, this is a bad idea, to speak the obvious. You can really become more dehydrated by drinking urine.
Urine can be compared to sea water in terms of taste when consumed. It contains salt and other substances that your body was trying to get rid of and is waste from your body. Restoring it within you won't be of any assistance. You will become more dehydrated more quickly, your blood pressure will drop, and it could perhaps hasten your demise.
Urine is sterile, unlike what Bear Grylls claims; this is a widespread misconception. It is untrue. How is it possible? While the rest of your body is constantly covered in bacteria, why would one area of it be sterile? In actuality, your urethra and the rest of your non-sterile anatomy that come into contact with the pee might contain a wide variety of bacteria.
You could make urine water and drink it, but the process takes time. Even so, it's considerably less risky than Grylls suggests. Have those who drank their own urine survived? No doubt. Yet it was more because they survived than because of what they did.
