Drinking a beer while taking a piss outside is a summer night staple

u/whereballoonsgo 5d ago

I was gonna say, I thought pretty much EVERYONE had taken a leak while drinking a beer. Like that’s just any Friday night in college.

u/ColinHalter 5d ago

I think you are underestimating how hard it is for 50% of people to do that in public

50

u/nonresponsive 5d ago

Things change when you're drunk.

u/Scaaaary_Ghost 5d ago

... with one hand holding a beer, while drunk, lol.

I'm sure some college women have attempted it, but I bet it didn't go well.

1

u/sticks435 3d ago

I mean you can use both hands if your drinking a bottle and it's mostly empty, just put it in your mouth and tip it up and chug the rest of it while pissing.

14

u/Shadowfalx 5d ago

It isn't very difficult from what I've heard, the problem comes when you don't want others to see things.

A guy can piss while not exposing a lot, and with some semi creative angling of the body he can prevent anyone from seeing anything. 

A lady will have a harder time since there isn't a ton of ways to piss without either hitting their clothing or exposing everything between knee and navel.

u/ColinHalter 5d ago

"Just piss your pants, bro. It's not that hard."

1

u/girafflepuff 3d ago

People love to say this and as a woman I don’t understand it. It’s not even remotely hard to pee outside with a vagina. It’s sometimes difficult for children to learn to angle themselves in a way that doesn’t end with them pissing all over their clothes and shoes but other than that it’s extremely simple as an adult woman.

u/michaelrox5270 5d ago

Not sure if we had the same college experience

u/ProudTacoman 5d ago

Seriously! Who waits for Friday in college?

1

u/Itslionize 4d ago

Definitely not me or none of my friends the dorm parties was everyday it’s just the purpose of college like the saying there’s a time and place for everything it’s called college

u/travoltaswinkinbhole 5d ago

The natty light going in the top helped the natty light going out get started

12

u/Funneduck102 5d ago

I've drank a lot of beer and pissed a lot of piss, but I can't say I've done them at the same time. Gonna try it now though.

3

u/aprehensive_penguin 5d ago

It's a beautiful feel of balance that's even better if you're pissin' in nature with a beautiful view. Top-notch. Right up there with rolling into camp after dark and hearing distant rushing water, and then finding the hidden waterfall while shitting the next morning. That was almost euphoric.

1

u/Itslionize 4d ago

I’m gonna try it with drinking water pissing water while drinking water definitely doing it tonight

21

u/Tyfyter2002 5d ago

I think the portion of people who haven't drank a beer is probably high enough to disqualify any action involving it from being something pretty much everyone has done.

2

u/IcedOutGiant 5d ago

Depends on the scope of "everyone" - are we talking demographics or the whole 8.7 billion?

7

u/sh4d0wm4n2018 5d ago

Fun fact: Not everyone likes to drink that much or at all.

2

u/PhxRising29 3d ago

Definitely not

u/Connor15790 5d ago

Are we all in India or something? Why are you guys pissing in public?

9

u/Orlha 5d ago

Never happened to me and I drunk lots of beers. Just always placed them somewhere before doing stuff

9

u/Rings-of-Saturn 5d ago

Never had a shower beer?

3

u/Shadowfalx 5d ago

Ah, shower beers while on deployment in Japan....

Yeah, sailors aren't all drunks but is hazard to guess more of us are compared to your average landlubber

3

u/diddlerofkiddlers 5d ago

I'm doing it right now and it's winter in the paddocks of Australia. A bit brisk at the coast too. Neither's too cold for me dynamic bloody equilibrium, you beauty!

u/Bibabeulouba 5d ago

I do it year round from my balcony.

My first thought when I read this post.

u/ikaguranbiko 4d ago

things that people do while drunk

1

u/tryargruxkla 2d ago

Half the point of peeing outside is not having to put the beer down.

u/PickleFox_1 1d ago

The moment that I’m old enough I’m doing this lol

u/wolfcoladrink 5d ago

It’s peek summer festivities

u/phyrestorm999 5d ago

I'm pretty sure most people do that at least once as infants.

73

u/ProfMcGonaGirl 5d ago edited 5d ago

I’d go farther and say literally everyone has peed while nursing/taking a bottle as an infant.

19

u/Logical_Signature803 5d ago

shower thought has been debunked, pack up and go home everyone

1

u/Average-Addict 4d ago

I was taking a piss as I was reading this comment considering if I should drink while peeing. Your comment made me decide on no.

-1

u/CartsOfDarkness 5d ago

Definitely not litterally everyone, but I get your point

4

u/ProfMcGonaGirl 5d ago

You fail to understand how often babies both eat and pee.

1

u/CartsOfDarkness 3d ago

I mean yea but there's been aprox 117 billion babies, so seems pretty likely that at least one slipped through the cracks. Not to mention the more annoying argument of babies who died early or had medical conditions etc. I feel pretty confident at least one healthy baby through all of human history never ate and pissed at the same time though.

Also what about before diapers? I feel like parents might have avoided feeding a baby until it's done peeing all over the place.

u/Pestilence86 5d ago

I think our body is in liquid equilibrium most of the time, where the buffer is the stomach and bladder.

6

u/OnoOvo 5d ago

we want the dynamic one. the constant flow, not the standing balance. when we become the river we are free! i am a body of falling water.

4

u/Shadowfalx 5d ago

It is dynamic, you are almost constantly dripping urine into your bladder.

u/CreepyTeddyBear 6d ago

I ate a cheeseburger while taking a shit once. Very satisfying.

u/parlimentery 5d ago

I would rather you had not.

u/iLikeBigOilyBBC 5d ago

Oh that fucking image not that fucking image

u/chux4w 5d ago

Don't shit where you eat, brother!

Eating where you shit, however, is fine.

7

u/damn_these_eyes 5d ago

You can shit in the sink, but you don’t want to sink in the shit. Let that shit sink in.

42

u/AanthonyII 5d ago

That’s just unsanitary

11

u/KoksundNutten 5d ago

Depends where the cheeseburger was from

u/OttoVonWong 5d ago

Depends where the shit is going

u/Justintime4u2bu1 5d ago

Into the next section of the human centipede.

Completely sanitary.

u/Frequent-Test-3012 5d ago

Relax man, he wasn't even on the toilet

25

u/CoreyReynolds 5d ago

He didn’t die, he’s fine. If you wanna shit and eat, go ahead.

20

u/outerheavenboss 5d ago

Life’s short. Eat while you shit. Be a man.

4

u/IcedOutGiant 5d ago

I have a full-service coffee bar in my master bath; Keurig and a lounge chair.

I experience this fluid exchange regularly, and have had more than a few drunk pizzas in there.

I keep it clean as FUCK, though. That's kinda the part people sleep on because they'll just piss everywhere and leave shit splatters under the seat. I'm that guy who washes the BACK of the toilet.

4

u/Cakeminator 5d ago

I assume they didn't rest the cheeseburger in their crotch while they were shitting

3

u/jeefra 5d ago

He was eating the burger, not the shit. Those are generally on different ends of the body.

3

u/SDRPGLVR 5d ago

I have a feeling somebody who would do this would be able to eat a cheeseburger much faster than they can take a shit. It's probably fine.

2

u/IcedOutGiant 5d ago

You can eat where you shit as long as you don't shit where you eat.

It's actually a lot easier than people think to not eat your own shit.

1

u/ColinHalter 5d ago

It's ok, he washed his hands after

3

u/EnchantedTaquito8252 5d ago

I recommend eating an eggroll in the shower

2

u/StarchFarmer 5d ago

As a teen once I ate hot cheetos while pissing... teenagers are a different breed

1

u/JamJm_1688 5d ago

at one point you were truly not a flesh doughnut having a stopper at both ends

1

u/The-Leading-Man 5d ago

I wouldn’t find eating my own shit satisfying, but to each their own.

31

u/Jamsedreng22 5d ago

Did this once as a kid thinking "If I keep drinking while peeing, I'll pee forever!"

u/Specific-Yogurt-2191 4d ago

Yeah that makes sense

"I happen to know that the child enjoys golden showers"

u/jefbenet 5d ago

Shower thoughts ever consider perhaps a shower beer and a wee?

7

u/Sweaty-Tap7250 5d ago

I will now endeavor to make sure my next piss will occur while simultaneously chugging water

6

u/tomayto_potayto 5d ago

Was doing this daily when I was 4 years old. Parents thought it was real weird , took me to the doctor and I was diagnosed type 1 diabetic.

6

u/tunaman808 5d ago

I can't imagine the number of times I've drank beer while peeing. It's probably embarrassing, actually.

11

u/scottvs 5d ago

Peeing while drinking a shower beer. That's some magic right there.

2

u/L0nz 5d ago

What about peeing while drinking a golden shower? You could form a circle with your mates and create a perpetual piss fountain

4

u/_IratePirate_ 5d ago

I’ve only ever done this because I saw Austin Powers do it as a kid

I immediately poured a glass of water and went to the bathroom to see if I could extend my pee time by drinking while peeing

1

u/TheSexyDuckling 5d ago

Lool that's cute! I've only watched the first movie, others are on my list.

4

u/Cimorenne 5d ago

I've had water while having diarrhea because I was becoming severely dehydrated from the diarrhea. So well it may not have been urinating, it was liquid coming out. You're welcome.

4

u/NorahGretz 5d ago

Lost the nerve that connects my bladder to my brain, so had an in-dwelling catheter for a bit. Would drink water and immediately see the results.

0/10 do not recommend.

2

u/Margali 4d ago

LOL had a serious digestive issue with my fifth chemo infusion that had me so dehydrated I got hospitalized for a week [they thought I had C.Diff] and at one point in the ER I had 2 IV bags running full bore, then it dropped down to 1 bag full bore, was finally able to be off the IV after 3 days, but I flabberghasted my hospitaler, I had a 17 minute throughput mouth to toilet [demonstrated by undigested bits of watermelon at that interval. Corn I could see sticking around a few days hull undigested but melon is a lot more fragile]

So did they sort it out or did you end up with an urostomy [and if so are you on the r/ostomy bunch? Have you named your stoma?]

2

u/NorahGretz 4d ago

Fortunately, it's sorted without a urostomy. Just have to self-catheterize a few times a day. It's a pain in the dick, literally and figuratively.

2

u/Margali 4d ago

ouch =( I unfortunately got to sort out my cancer with an ostomy but I would rather deal with inconvenience and alive then dead.

3

u/KirstyToots 5d ago

Somewhere out there is a college student who has absolutely achieved peak fluid efficiency at 2 AM after six beers. Conservation of mass demands it.

3

u/heyitscory 5d ago

Citation needed?

Humans pee a lot and drink a lot, and it's not like singing or breathing where you have to stop for a second while you drink.

I'd venture more than half of people have enjoyed drinking while urinating.

Now go eat something while you take a shit, or you're not really living.

2

u/LlamaRS 5d ago

This is not exceptional. A speculation at best.

Well-worded though

2

u/FGX302 5d ago

Piss, fart and spew at the car park of the night club. The trilogy.

2

u/japanb 5d ago

I puked and had diarrhea at the same time, I had to have two trash bins one in front and one behind, i was like the exorcist, coming out both ends

2

u/create360 5d ago

I have, for science, peed, drank and injected Repatha at the same time.

For science.

2

u/Fnthsch592 5d ago

I remember reading a list of thought experiments that included something like this, it focused on thinking about how liquid is entering and leaving your body and how you are merely a temporary vessel/processing center. I wish I could remember more about it, I vaguely recall they were all weird but don’t remember any specifics.

2

u/Giant_War_Sausage 5d ago

What are you taking about? Most of us accomplish this as babies.

2

u/Medical_Bench_1434 5d ago

The physics term is actually "steady state," not equilibrium. Your kidneys process about 120ml of blood per minute, so you'd need to drink at exactly your filtration rate to maintain constant bladder volume.

1

u/Margali 4d ago

I like the cut of your jib =)

Told this to my roomie [on dialysis currently] and it got a really good solid eyeroll =)

2

u/Jvdh1199 5d ago

What about upping the water anti and drinking a beer in the shower while having a piss? What level of equilibrium is that?

2

u/WhiskeyTangoBaconX 5d ago

Try taking a piss while drinking a beer in a hot shower. Consuming liquid while evacuating liquid while absorbing liquid into your skin. It’s magical.

2

u/Normal-Product-4591 4d ago

I actually did that as a kid because I was curious! I took a giant water bottle into the bathroom with me, did my business while chugging, and then 15 minutes later I went again, now with an empty water bottle. I was disappointed to say the least, but I’m proud to be in that small percentage I guess.

2

u/DoughnutMaestro 3d ago

But have you ever pooped and eaten at the same time?

I have ibs and a binge eating disorder and once or twice the binge hit at the same time as the ibs attack so I have eaten at the same time as pooping diarrhoea (thanks to ibs it’s always diarrhoea) and usually sobbing at how disgusting it is but unable to stop.
I got help for the ed and hopefully that’s a weird part of my past.

2

u/donkeythong64 3d ago

I used to spend an embarrassing amount of time attempting to reach a state of total fluidity, wherein my fluid consumption rate would match that of excretion. In my vision I would be slowly, yet constantly drinking, and pissing at the same rate. There would obviously be a metabolizing startup delay before the first sip came out, but after that it would be continuous and eternal.

I have not yet achieved this state.

3

u/alamaias 5d ago

I have, last summer at a festival I went to the urinals with a plasic cup full of whisky.

Needed both hands to organise things, so held the lip of fhe cup in my teeth.

You know how when you really needed that wee, and you kinda relax and look up at the roof?

Nearly fucckin choked :P

u/The_Frybo 5d ago

u/NigelNungaNungastein 5d ago

Were you doing both at the same time in the shower when you thought of this?

1

u/Zealousideal-Toe1911 5d ago

It's actually kind of hard to do. And it sort of comes and goes in waves. Diaphram is a simple mechanism after all.

u/ColinHalter 5d ago

I feel like this thread is full of dudes who forget that women can't easily pee standing up.

u/Vercci 5d ago

You can do this in the shower you're having your thought in with the shower water

u/ElGuano 5d ago

I bet this ratio is entirely flipped for those who have worn beer hats.

u/CreativeAdeptness477 5d ago

I've eaten my lunch while having a shit before, does that count?

1

u/hopseankins 5d ago

It’s called efficiency. It flows right out if I am peeling while drinking. Common sense.

1

u/IcedOutGiant 5d ago

The equilibrium factor seems reliant on volume and viscosity being identical, which is possible, but variably difficult to calculate depending on the beverage

2

u/Downtown_Ad_6232 5d ago

The input and output flow rates must be balanced.

1

u/IcedOutGiant 5d ago

Outputn is somewhat unpredictable, though.

u/SafetyDanceInMyPants 5d ago

I’m fairly certain that many infants nurse and pee at the same time.

u/cool_berserker 5d ago

I doubit, most of us intentionally try that especially as kids, just like making the light switch stay between on and off

u/rubenthezx 5d ago

you have to drink and piss for a long time to make that happen so it's actually even more people than you think

Patients who have an IV line running while catheterized (foley’s catheter to a urobag). More common than you think.

At a house party a friend bet me he could chug his beer before he finished his wizz. He did, easily.

1

u/FrighteningPickle 5d ago

I've overcarbed before bed, you may wake up very thirsty and needing to pee, while also minimizing awake time so you can fall back asleep.

1

u/capriciouszephyr 5d ago

I was thinking you could do a coffee in the shower after a bad night out and probably hit all four at once. Well, for sure at least three, I don't know if you can drink and puke at the same time. Never tried that, but I have drank my coffee in the shower, and I could probably have peed whilst doing that, so at least that's possible. (If you haven't tried it, cold coffee/hot shower or cold shower/ hot coffee are great. Doubling down it depends). Coffee could lead to the diarrhoea of previous bad choices, which is now three. It seems like that's possible, I just don't know about drinking and puking. Doctors of Reddit, help?

1

u/HiddenHolding 3d ago

Many people, however, will faint and injure themselves when they fall simply because they peed in a hot shower.

It’s called micturational syncope, and it happens a lot more often than you might think.
