I remember my Auntie telling me about this when I was a kid - I thought it was gross!
Fortunately, the fashion had dried up by the time my generation came along!
There was another use for pee when I was a kid. Where I grew up, there was often fierce competition between the men who grew vegetables for the local horticultural show - winning 1st Prize was a matter of pride. I remember our neighbour reckoned urine was the best fertiliser for growing giant leeks.
I think he diluted it first but you could say he "took a leak on his leeks."
