Question: If you were stranded in the desert with no water could you drink urine to survive and explain!?
Answers:
Yes, urine has water in it and as long as you drink it soon after urinating, bacteria/viruses should not be a problem!. That being said, it will only give you additional time before you have to find water!. Your urine will gradually get more and more dense as you get more dehydrated!. You can't survive on it indefinently!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yes you can, but you will have to filter it first!. If you don't filter it, you will get sick!.
About 95% of urine is water and saline and not harmful but the rest 5%is the waste products the kidney has been filtering for discharge!. That can be toxic if recirculated drinking your urine many times!. Although 5% toxicity may not kill you, accumulation of several "5%s" will add up to cause organ/kidney failure to kill you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well, drinking urine would defeat the purpose, because it would only make you more thirsty with all of the toxins (bacterial compounds) and salts (lots of sodium) in it!.!.!. You'd just be a hell of a lot thirstier!.
No, I would convert my pee into water using leaves, or a cloth of some kind, and two bowls!. Put the pee into the big bowl, and put the small bowl in the middle with nothing in it!. Put plastic (or something like it) over both bowls and put something that's kind of heavy in the center (over the little bowl) !.!.!. when the water evaporates, it'll convert into water, without all of the salts and germs, and it'll pour into the smaller bowl, where you can take it out and drink!. =) I LOVE the discovery channel!!!
If I didn't have the things necessary, I'd just get water from a cactus!.

Cindy C, urine is FAR from clean or sterile!. THINK ABOUT IT - you pee to rid your body of bacteria and toxins - it's filthy and would most likely make you SICK if you drank it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No urine is excreted from your body because it contains compounds toxic to organic compounds in your body!. It is a watered down mixture of urea, so you could boil it and collect the vapors!.!.!.but it also contains sodium which would dehydrate you more!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
