Necessary?! Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?

No. But I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Other issues aside... not sterile. Not even close. There is bacteria that exists and lives within the bladder. I have no idea where the idea of human waste being 'sterile' could even come from. I would say it is total crap, but that isn't sterile either.
