It sounds logical to me that you wouldn’t get sick, after all your poop isn’t exactly sterile and so your colon is already shielding you from absorbing the bad stuff from it. What I question is how much hydration you’ll really gain, you definitely absorb some since some folks can get drunk by dipping a tampon in vodka and putting it up there but I dunno about water…

In a different thread someone said that it’s the opposite, you better drink the water because that would at least pose a chance of killing some threats, whereas if you butt-drink it it will be guaranteed to deliver everything as is

  So I guess if I’m ever in a survival situation and this scenario comes up, it’ll be Schrodinger’s Buttchug

Colon is really good at dehydrating. That’s why you get constipation if you hold it too long.

As we all know, our intestinal trackt is (mainly) divided into 3 sections: colon, small intestine and the colon. The stomach mainly breaks down the food physically and chemically. The small intestine absorbs nutrients (and breaks down the food even more) and the colon dehydrates the poop, to not waste water and to get a bit more suitable consistency. It also saves space if you dont have to store all the water.

So you can absolutely drink water through your colon. I wouldn’t really recommend it, since theres the danger of you accidentally pushing back your stool which isn’t that good, but you can do it.
