One time I met this guy who believed that drinking urine is healthy. I think he was from Latvia. I looked up the book he mentioned, and then I tried to figure out if the author was a Jew. All I found was something saying that sometimes the surname is Jewish. I couldn't find a picture of the author either, so I couldn't have the, "Every single time!" reaction.
I reckon that if your body is getting rid of it, you shouldn't be putting it back in your body. If you're lost at sea or in a desert, you can drink your pee to reclaim the water. That's the only time you should drink piss.
It's bad to drink unfiltered pee even in survival situations. Even worse than sea water.
I have heard you do it once, and that's it. Maybe if you find a source of water, you can do it again after you've cleaned out the double. Piss is more like vinegar than seawater. It's got acids in it, and it tastes sour. Seawater is full of salt and destroys your nervous system due to salt overload.
