In related news, I've been told that consuming sweet n' low actually does make your piss taste sweet. I am in no way inclined to test this theory but if you find out that you are able to down mass quantities of piss without any medical problems then this might be useful information with the taste... (blech!)

A med student once told me that urine can be recycled five times before becoming toxic.

Man V. Wild says you can drink all the urine you want so long as it's fresh. Incidently, he also says you can drink the water squeezed out of elephant shit too.

I suppose this is based on the assumption that contemplating drinking piss doesn't already make one feel sick.

Didn't you cover this in the past? I went back and read all the Savage Love articles that are archived on this site, and I remember something to this effect.

One thing I particularly remembered was that it might cause or aggravate gout. Gout needs a new slogan. Rather that "the rich man's disease" it could be "the piss drinker's disease."

I recall a Savage Love letter in which the pisser's lover developed gout because he or she (I don't recall that being revealed) would use their lover as a urinal as soon as they got home from work. This was something they both looked forward to at the end of the day. What I recall is that the toilet was male, and he ended up with severe gout.

I know that men are more likely to develop gout. As gout is a condition of having too much uric acid in one's blood then clearly regular drinking of large amounts of piss can lead to an illness. How much and how often is unclear, though.

(I've had to cut back on soda because too much of it can cause gout, something I've started to develop. Who would have thought soda is about as safe as piss?)

The tastiest and least offensive piss is after a few beers - tastes like spring water. I regularly go to a party where such things go on, and the only time I've had a problem was when the pisser was not well-hydrated. Then it's an irritant to the system, and tends to exit via the rectum in its liquid form.

Yah, that is so disgusting. I just had to say it, because no one else seemed grossed out enough. WHY WOULD SOMEONE WILLINGLY DRINK PISS??? Sorry to be all judgmental. Ummm...I suppose there are worse things to drink...I can't think of any off the top of my head though.

I been drinking animal piss since I was a kid in Kentucky

Drink my wife's all the time

Like it better than beer or lemonade

You fussy lady types have no sense of adventure, dull lives reacting with you favorite phrase, oh yuk

Go drink your boyfrind's piss, then eat his butt

He will cherish you forever and offer nightly fucking and a new car at least

Thanks, Ed.

That was really disgusting.

I think we have a winner.
