'''Pißwasser''' (mispronounced in-game as "pisswasser"; the correct pronunciation is actually "pissvasser") is a fictional German export lager frequently advertised in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. '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 television ad has labeled the brand 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''", once again playing to the urine theme. | ||
The radio and TV advertisements for the beer feature variations of a song sung by a stereotypical redneck man with lyrics that portray comically exaggerated effects of alcoholism, including "giving a dude head" and "driving drunk off a pier". The Pißwasser song largely spoofs [[Wikipedia:Budweiser|Budweiser's]]{{explain}} anthem, particularly towards the end of the jingle. A pack of Pißwasser costs 6 dollars at [[24/7]]. | The radio and TV advertisements for the beer feature variations of a song sung by a stereotypical redneck man with lyrics that portray comically exaggerated effects of alcoholism, including "giving a dude head" and "driving drunk off a pier".
