By design it will hold liquid very near the sink. There is an exchange of liquid in the p-trap whenever someone runs anything down the drain but there is always a pool of liquid in the p-trap. If you pee in your sink, even if you wash your hands with soapy water afterwards, you have no way of knowing the ratio of the mix left in the p-trap. So there's probably pee in it.

See this is what I was worried about: a significant difference in the plumbing that makes it not such an amazing idea.

I pee in the utility sink in my basement all the time. Its right off the back of my TV/game room and there is no toilet down there.. I just run the water for a few seconds after i wash my hands to flood the trap.

I mean it saves just as much water as when people don't flush except it's doesn't just leave pee sitting in there. You wash your hands after anyway, so soapy water chases it down. Is there any reason not to do it this way?

I was looking for reason why you shouldn't plumbing or disposal wise, not just getting excited because lol pee can go down there.

I have never brought food into the bathroom. I've never even thought of it.

It's the exact opposite of all logic and science.

I've eaten a granola bar while shitting before, but I don't make a regular thing out of it.

That's not the same thing as thawing out raw meat in your bathroom.
