Filter test - drinking your own pee

water filterIt is the ultimate test of a portable filtration system AND the question you always want to ask when you buy a new filter: can you drink your own pee through this thing? Outside's crack editors have the answer…

Well, OK, the answer is yes, you can drink your own urine, even without filtration…as self-made amputee Aron Ralston points out in his book Between a Rock and a Hard Place:  

"Sip after sip of acidic urine has eroded my gums and left my palate raw."  

 Ewwwwwww!

The question now: can you drink someone else's pee through this filter? And if so, should you do so with an olive or a lemon twist?
