If some of it dries and gets snorted back and swallowed, nothing is said. If someone pulls it out the other way and swallows it...OMG, the humanity!!!

While our social conventions consider it taboo, it's really not such a crazy or abnormal thing to do. People just dislike seeing it. I just don't think people should have such a stomach turning reaction to it.

Drinking urine serves no biological purpose unless you're trying to stave off death due to dehydration, which I think you will agree is a pretty extreme example to bring up.



I can't believe I'm taking the time to defend an Oiler-fan nose-picker. One of the stranger things I've done in a while, but there you have it.
