"It is probably better not to drink your pee" (video) [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2025-06-06

Science has discovered that pee is not sterile, and you ought not to drink it.

This was a popular story in the Boy Scouts. If lost in the desert without water, drink your pee. The kind of stuff teens love to talk about, and probably made it into popular media like MacGyver. It was certainly peeing in the radiator that allowed the Wolverines to escape, later to defeat the Russo-Cuban invading forces.

Previously:

• Bricks made from human urine

• 300 gallons of urine stashed in house

• In the 1600s, baked goods made with flour and urine were believed to ward off evil
