Can I Drink My Own Pee?

The army puts pee on the "do not drink" list because of its salinity, where drinking urine will make you more dehydrated than if you drink nothing at all. However, the urine is sterile, does not have any bacterial (unless you have an infection), it contains electrolytes, some little bit of hormones, and mostly water!
