message: I'm removing the statement "Drinking your own urine is known to make you feel sick and it also is the habits of people with mental disabilities." because it sounds like original research.  Douglasr007 06:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The survival section needs serious work by someone who knows some science. "It has been suggested" and "has been said" don't lend much authority to that section. Mattgrommes 21:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I read an article (in the LA Weekly free newspaper I think) which claimed one can get gout from excessive urine drinking.  I don't know how true it is but it sounds quite plausible.  AThousandYoung 06:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: As funny as I think it is, we should probably remove the picture.  That's Pilsner, not urine.  Not that there's much difference...  --Xyzzyva (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed the (likely incorrect) statistics about this and added a link to the much better presentation in the Asparagus article. The reference that was cited here is a broken link to Allergy Advisor, which makes the articles in question available only to paying subscribers. Peter Chastain (talk) 08:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I believe the first citation to be inappropriate, particularly for a page under the medicine umbrella.
The citation links to a website about fetishes, which itself does not cite facts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.123.34 (talk) 09:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Now who was the troll to add See also: Bear Grylls? Sorry but I'm removing this bite, Bear Grylls has consumed urine only a few times for survival, but the subject isn't related directly to him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.23.16.7 (talk) 01:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

message: "Some people in the group Dire Straits have drunk urine, but it's unclear if this actually helped or hindered their situation." This links to the rock group but does not indicate what their situation was which necessitated it. Does it in fact mean rather "some people in dire straits ..." (generic)?

replies: text: I'd say that was the case, as it was only recently capitalised, and then even more recently linked to the band. JoshMuirWikipedia (talk) 02:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I just want to say that this article at present is piss-poor. I mean, are we kindergarten students, who can only point out, "could be dangerous" "tastes bad" "No modern scientific evidence". 
The article is about the practice, and there have been lots of pee-drinking practices in the history of man and his civilizations, so why don't those who want to contribute to this article add a little substance to this string of generalizations, disclaimers and talking off the top of our heads?

thread_title: Really?

message: I don't know how one would go about backing up this information in a scholarly fashion so that it meets wikipedia's standards. I was told by two people who didn't know each other that drinking one's urine in rather extreme circumstances can be medically beneficial. Both people were medical professionals, one a military paramedic who served in Vietnam, and the other a physician. The circumstances are to recover essential medications that are eliminated unchanged via the kidneys, when the medications are needed and no more will be available in the critically near future. The warning is that drinking one's urine should only be done once because the buildup of toxic materials are hard on the body. The Vietnam vet said it was usually done in the field to recover morphine when supplies were low or had run out, and because alleviating severe pain was involved, there was little resistance in getting a patient to accept the idea, or it was done via I.V. without the patient's knowledge.

replies: text: First you would needs a reliable published study or soure to back the information up, and then cite it correctly. Note: published source. While that information may be true they would need to publish that information somewhere, or else it would be original research, that may be very beneficial in other sites and places, alas is not according to wikipedia's standards. — I'ma editor2022 (🗣️💬 |📖📚) 23:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
