Eh, irregardless is in the OED as non-standard, so that's good enough for me.

The medicine cabinet in your bathroom is the worst (well one of the worst ;) ) place(s) to put your drugs.
The high level of humidity and high fluctuation of temperature tend to break down the medicine. |

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. |

Randerolf, et all, I think the main concept behind drinking your own urine would be as a brief temporary solution if you knew you would be rescued within a couple days but you needed SOME water to maintain your health.

This is an interesting phenomena, as least to me.
In physics, you would logically assume that the quickest way from point A to point B is a straight line, correct? Well, technically, it isn't. If you have a ball on an incline plane, for instance, 45º, and measure the time it takes to roll down the hill, it will be slower than this: Imagine a wheel, but cut in quarters, like a pizza. Now, take the curve sloping downward, and release the ball from there. It will be quicker than the straight line attempt, due to differences in potential and kinetic energy. Hopefully, you were able to visualize this. |
