Fuck forward thinking. The thinking behind it is, "there are 4,000 people at this outdoor beer festival, how can we make the most efficient possible toilet that drunk guys won't mind using?" And fuck your "civility", I'm expelling waste to make room for beer, not ordering fillet mignon at a fancy steak house.

Or maybe "We dont have enough money for proper facilities, so we are going to cheap out wherever we can".

Ive been to beer festivals with 4,000+ people and there was an ample wall of port-a-potties to use. This just looks like a ghetto piece of shit beer festival.

mattpegher, don't you encounter patients with acidosis, diabetic issues for a few to name? I do recall that diabetic issues can result in having abnormal urine acidity, which indisputably is detrimental for human consumption or usage (most obviously by culture and ethics). But we know for a fact that bacteria have a harder time growing and replicating in low pH environments. I guess it depends on which culture we are talking here but for generalness' sake let's speak basic like Staph aureus or even MRSA.

Especially attributing to the fact that they are cocci and gram positive species, it is for sure they would have a harder time growing with that urine (assume sterile, free of UTI's) sloshed over skin. Basic microbio at best, am I wrong?

Extremes of acidosis or alkalosis can product extremes of urine pH. Unfortunately for our discussion the patient is likely to die before the bacteria in his urine will.

This is an open-air festival... think more in the line of 60.000 people per day.

Yeah, to hell with the womenz. They shouldn't be there anyway except to drive us home. ;)
