Well, it probably wouldn't be the end of her in that context, but actually, the sterility of urine is something of a popular myth. Urine is sterile until it hits the urethra, which is rife with bacteria. In a healthy person, most of this bacteria is of the helpful variety or at least presents very little risk, so "fresh from the tap" it's not exactly a huge risk, but there are exceptions -- here UTI's must make another unwelcome visit to this discussion. Regardless, once urine hits the open air it becomes a breeding ground of the first order for bacteria. And, recognition of the fact that you were undoubtedly joking notwithstanding, it is most certainly not good for the skin and is in fact a powerful irritant. You certainly don't want to get it in your eyes and drinking it is ill-advised. It's basically highly toxic, caustic stuff. Remember, a significant portion is the crap your body is looking to get rid of through regular metabolic processes. Again, said with full understanding of the sarcasm employed by both parties. Just using the opportunity to comment on a popular misconception as belief in it could lead to some minor harm.
