A Genius Scientist Has Invented A Machine That Can Turn Your Piss Into Beer

A Genius Scientist Has Invented A Machine That Can Turn Your Piss Into Beer

And it's about time too!

Soon when your mum tells you you're pissing your wages up the wall you can tell her that you're actually just pissing them back into your own mouth.

It's the dream!

And we have some innovative Belgians to thank for this breakthrough. While the Swiss are doing some weird and unnecessary space shit with the Hadron Collider, the Belgians are addressing what really matters.

With the ever increasing prices of pints, how can we get pissed on the cheap? The answer, funnily enough, revolves around piss.

A Belgian research team at the University of Ghent came through with the breakthrough.

The machine consists of a solar-powered boiler and a membrane which turns urine into drinking water and fertilizer. From there, recycled water is used to make beer.

A recent #peeforscience project saw one such machine deployed for use by revellers at a music festival in Ghent. An impressive 1,000 litres of water was recycled from the urine collected.

Now, I asked myself, would I really drink this?

Then I thought that if the alternative was paying £4 for a room temperature pint of Tuborg then, yes, I definitely would.

According to RT, there are plans to install more of these machines at football stadiums, shopping malls and airports as the project is rolled out.
