I'd like to dispute this. While urine is generally sterile (unless you have an infection in your bladder, kidneys, or tubing) drinking it to survive when you have no water is not a good idea. You're just reingesting stuff that your kidneys will have to re-excrete, causing you to lose more water.
Actually eeef2 is right. But only so long as the urine is clearish. Once it turns yellow, it is mostly uric acid, which is toxic.
