I think he means you could drink your own pee wherever you are.

Too much for what? You can still drink it.

You don't know. Feral Slasher might be just cool enough to make drinking his own pee attractive. (Not to me....but someone)

the point is if a kid says he wants to be an astronaut someday so he can legitimately drink his own piss, a responsible adult won't tell him he can do it anyways. you play along and let him go to school for 25 years and practice zero gravity in swimming pools and be asked (if he's not paying attention, like in the movie Armageddon) what would happen if he was on a meteor and a girl kicked him in the balls- instead of just saying you can drink it now.

it's delayed gratification. you want to build up the suspense and excitement of being able to drink your own urine. sure you could drink it prematurely, but everyone will tell him not to do it until he becomes an astronaut.

Seems like a lot of work. Would be easier to join a cult....or just lock the bathroom door.
