Thanks for the useful tip - I shall keep this in mind should the need arise

only issue with drinking pee is that it puts salts and minerals (uric acid etc) straight back into your body - precisely those compounds your liver and kidney have just worked hard over several days to isolate and get rid of ... not smart ...
doesn't do any harm in the short run, after all there's plenty more in process swilling around your body, that's not yet been processed into your output stream
but in the long run the toxins acculumate and can do damage, first by making your liver and kidney work overtime, and later other complications.
A couple of shipwrecked sailors have been caught out in the past, after facing the difficult choice of going nuts drinking seawater or recycling their own water.
Splashed on your body, the only effect is the smell
