Pißwasser (pronounced "pisswasser") is a fictional German export lager frequently advertised on the radio stations and in the world of Grand Theft Auto IV. 'Wasser' in the beer's name translates into English as 'water', making the beverage's literal name 'piss water', which is slang for cheap, watered-down beer. Billboards seen in-game expand the urine references, even going so far as to suggest the bottles contain nothing but urine. Furthermore, the six-crate of Pißwasser that Rockstar sent to UK website CVG Online as a present was laballed with the words 'Ü-Rhine', which is probably also a nod to the Rhine river in Germany.

The radio advertisments for the beer feature variations of a song sung by a stereotypical redneck man with lyrics that portray comically exaggerated affects of alcoholism, including driving off of a pier whilst intoxicated, and beating his wife while singing the song. The song largely spoofs the Budweiser Anthem.
