I have read that the Dahli Lama starts his day off with a drink of his own urine.
But I alway wondered whether he got it straight from the tapper or from a cup. -

In case anyone didn't know, if you spend time and have a wonderful comment like I just did and then hit the esc key it will erase the whole damn thing. Anyway, since you are bringing it up this is from a pamphlet "170 Gallons A Day", sources of emergency water from Survival Life.
It is generally advised by health professionals that you should not drink urine, but if you must drink it do so a maximum of 3 times, and only if there is no alternative water supply. In other words, it is a last resort water supply. However, anyone would admit that it is better to drink urine than die from dehydration.
Do not drink the first urine in the morning, as it is usually the most concentrated flow of the day in terms of body toxin content.
There are very good reasons why the amount of urine you drink should be limited.Urine is approximately 95% water and 5% waste elements. The waste elements are just that—substances your body does not need. These substances include potassium, chloride, sodium, nitrogen and calcium. Sodium attracts water in cells, which is why you cannot drink salt water. Too much sodium will lead to dehydration, while to much potassium can interfere with your heart functioning.
Urine may also contain traces of medications or other substances that you do not want to put back into your body.
Finally, never drink someone else's urine or urine that is collected from a latrine.
As I share this insightful and timely information I hope that if, because of my efforts one person, who was about to drink his or her urine has now given it a second thought, I will feel so rewarded. -
