Eh i know people who drink their own urine, I'm not that worried about pee. I don't want to drink my own pee, let alone a stranger's pee, but I'm more concerned about the shit in shit when taking about hand washing.

What % of kitchen sponges in the US were found to contain fecal matter? I don't remember, but it was high enough for me to switch to Swedish dish clothes immediately. Eurgh.

Who are these people?

A whole bunch of friends from the town I used to live in. One started peeing on his skin as an eczema treatment, which seemed to work, and somehow this progressed to drinking it. It spread, and became a thing in town. Last I heard there were about 10 pee drinkers, but obviously it's not something people talk about openly.

Apparently morning pee is relaxing because of the melatonin content?

Edit: Apparently it's a very old and widespread practice. Here's a Healthline article on it: https://www.healthline.com/health/drinking-urine
