Apparently
cow urine is the hot new drink in India. I'm not sure what people believe to be the health benefits of it, but there's a brisk market in sales of the stuff. The only problem is the nasty smell:
A few suppliers even have suggestions for battling the odour. "You can kill the smell if you add some essence while consuming it. But if you store it in a bottle again, the odour returns," says Lakshmanananda of another ashram in Gandipet, on the outskirts of the city.
Demand is so strong that it's even spawning a market for fake cow urine:
As cow urine does booming business, can the fakes be far behind? The city has a supply of about 500 litres a day, but now buffalo urine and that of other animals are being passed off as the real thing. "Spurious products have sprung up from nowhere," says Prashant Kumar Vyas, a supplier from Siddiambar bazaar.
Comments
This is going to lead to some interesting lawsuits.
"Your honor, the Defendant fraudulently supplied his own urine instead of the health-giving cow piss the Plaintiff paid for.."

I wouldn't do it either, way too disgusting. But if you are dehydrated or in the middle of Sahara with no water, you can be sure it is safe to drink it.
As disgusting as it may be, it cansave your life.
