'''Pißwasser''' (mispronounced in-game as "pisswasser"; the correct pronunciation is actually "pissvasser") is a fictional German export lager frequently advertised on radio and TV in [[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 a slang term 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 (perhaps in reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/corona.asp urine in Corona beer] rumor). Furthermore, the six-crate of Pißwasser that [[Rockstar]] sent to UK website CVG Online as a present was labeled with the words 'Ü-Rhine', which is probably also a nod to the Rhine river in Germany (also a pun on "urine"). The labels on the bottles are similar to [[wp:Grafenwalder|Grafenwalder's]] labeling. The beer's slogan is "''You're In, For A Good Time''". Their slogan might be another nod to the potential that Pißwasser is made out of urine, as 'You're in' and 'For a good time' are separated by a comma. | '''Pißwasser''' (mispronounced in-game as "pisswasser"; the correct pronunciation is actually "pissvasser") is a fictional German export lager frequently advertised on radio and TV in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].
