'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 [[Wikipedia:Budweiser|Budweiser]] Anthem. | |||
