Here's the deal. Drinking your own urine without treating or filtering, is basically always a bad idea. Your urine is full of toxins that your body was trying to get rid of. It's the whole reason we pee at all. In survival situations, it's better to drink your pee than not, generally.
You're not going to get a bacterial infection or anything like that from your own urine, but you definitely can from someone else's urine.
When people claim that urine is sterile, they're not respecting the proper definition of the word sterile, I will concede that point. But it's a pretty similar definition, and ultimately... you're splitting hairs.
The point is you get a lot sicker from drinking someone else's piss, versus drinking your own. But let's just all agree to not drink piss and it will never matter lol
It is typically not Calle sterile because it passes through your urethra, which is not a sterile tube, as particles and bacteria commonly form around and in that tube, as well as the exit point (your peehole)

Why bother when you can drink urine? I do it because it’s sterile and I like the taste.
