Eat Shit And Die

Because it's toxic, duh.
Urine, however may have its beneficial properties.
While it is not entirely un-toxic (what with traces of alcohol, potassium, tons of sodium) some people believe it may give them the essentials they need to live a longer, stronger life.

The practice of drinking urine is called Urophagia. In India and China it is customary to ingest ones own urine for certain cosmetic purposes. In Ancient Rome it was sometimes used as a extra strength teeth whitener. The Roman poet Catullus writes:

Egnatius, because he has snow-white teeth, smiles all the time. If you’re a defendant in court, when the counsel draws tears, he smiles: if you’re in grief at the pyre of pious sons, the lone lorn mother weeping, he smiles. Whatever it is, wherever it is, whatever he’s doing, he smiles: he’s got a disease, neither polite, I would say, nor charming. So a reminder to you, from me, good Egnatius. If you were a Sabine or Tiburtine or a fat Umbrian, or plump Etruscan, or dark toothy Lanuvian, or from north of the Po, and I’ll mention my own Veronese too, or whoever else clean their teeth religiously, I’d still not want you to smile all the time: there’s nothing more foolish than foolishly smiling. Now you’re Spanish: in the country of Spain what each man pisses, he’s used to brushing his teeth and red gums with, every morning, so the fact that your teeth are so polished just shows you’re the more full of piss.

According the Nexus magazine: "Urine is not a dirty and toxic substance rejected by the body. Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration. Medically it is referred to as "plasma ultrafiltrate". It is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys--whose principal function is not excretion but regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. Urine can be compared to leftovers from a meal, and this metaphor may help us understand why our bodies excrete elements that are valuable to our health and well-being. "

If you're going to engage in this practice (DISCLAIMER: AMBER LINSKEY DOES NOT CONDONE THE DRINKING OF URINE, NOR WOULD SHE EVER DO IT HERSELF, SO DON'T BOTHER ASKING, YOU SICK FUCK) here are a few recommended items to ingest to enhance the [fucking disgusting] taste:

Artificial Sweetners: said to dissolve in the urine and give it a sweeter taste. This includes diet sodas. (Note: if the taste of sugar is detected in urine, and the pisser has not ingested artifical sweetners than the pisser may have diabetes)

Alcohol: said to cut the acidity

Miso soup: said to edge the saltiness

Curry: said to give the urine a spicy/sweet taste

Avoid:

Asparagus: it makes urine stinky

Excess Vitamins: can make the drinker ill

Cigarettes & Nicotine: yeah right

Follow these simple tips (?) and Urine Good Health!
