Mmmm. Cow Pee!

You know the feeling: you wake up in the morning after a long night of getting your drink on and you are thirsty. Like, trekking through a desert for 3 months without a Nalgene thirsty. You crawl out of bed and reach for the first beverage you can get your hands on, be it Powerade, water, or a 2 liter of Diet Coke.

By Noa

And it feels good goin’ down.

What if I told you there was an even more refreshing alternative? A drink that has the power to heal you and nourish your body. No, it’s not beer – that whole “hair of the dog that bit ya” theory is whack. It’s better than beer.

Though it may taste a bit like it.

It’s….cow urine.

Yes, it’s true. Look out Coke and Pepsi, Gau Jal, or cow water, is coming. The drink, which is made mostly of cow pee pee mixed with herbal supplements, is being touted as a healthy alternative to soft drinks. While it doesn’t sound very appealing (or hygienic), Gau Jal’s creator, Om Prakash, promises that ” it won’t smell like urine and will be tasty too.”

Now, I’ve never tried the stuff, but I have smelled it and I doubt I’ll be giving up my Diet Coke addiction for cans of pee anytime soon, but who knows? It could be the next great mixer. I mean, Red Bull takes like booty, but it’s damn good with a shot of Jaeger. Maybe all the cow pee really needs is a little Grey Goose.

A Golden Shower on the rocks? Sounds good to me.
