...How?

If your body has too much unessecary food or water it stops functioning, much like an overflowed pool.

...How?

Yes, drinking too much water is bad for you and, yes, it could potentially kill you too. There is such a thing as water intoxication or water poisoning and it occurs when one has too much water, usually within a short span of time. I know one doesn't normally associate water as being one of the causative factors for death. But, as they say, excess of anything can be bad, and in the case of water, excess can potentially kill. Generally, in day-to-day life we don't normally consume too much water. We generally only have as much as we require, as indicated by the feeling of thirst. When our thirst is quenched, we are satiated and no longer keep drinking. So, in the normal course, water intoxication is rare. In fact, many health experts advocate drinking adequate amounts of water for its health benefits. For certain ailments too, drinking adequate amounts of water is essential - ailments such as kidney stones. Adequately hydrating oneself can prevent formation of kidney stones, which is one of the most painful medical conditions around. However, you do need to be careful about drinking excessive amounts of water.

You drown.

...Right, I guess that makes sense. Not like anybody would drink that much water in the first place, unless we're doing some crazy real life version of Se7en or something.

The more you know.

Actually I suggest drinking it only if you need to, as soon as you find a normal source of water I suggest drinking that so you don't overload on nutrients.

Drinking pee is useless.
You've got all the nutrients and stuff you need.
The rest is just waste.

Uhh your body uses water to wash toxins out of your body, there's no "nutrients" you get from water.

[Bisjac]

pee is fine to drink. however you would be adding some salts and sugars BACK into your body that the pee itself was trying to remove.
you can hydrate yourself from it, but not to well.

Drinking Pee = Waste of time

It's actually to help sterilize the water too, because it's toxic enough to kill most bacteria.

More importantly, why are we talking about piss in a special interest thread?
