Stronger than nearly all spirits, really. Only everclear and 151s come to mind, and no one drinks those straight without a death wish. Most whiskeys sit between 90 and 125 proof, gins between 84-90 and all other spirits other than overproof rums right at 80. That beer is 135 proof. Nuts.

back to  phraseology 

taking the piss - already explained

piece of piss -  the same as piece of cake but more emphatic

piss easy - same as piece of piss

piece of shit -  a nasty slimeball type of character (eg  the kopite over there is a piece of shit)

pissing into wind - you get a blowback or whatever you want to call it.  a useless/pointless exercise.

piss poor - bloody awful  (eg  Perfect Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance)

this has been a piss post because somebody had to do it.

There was a video doing the rounds recently of some random guy  putting a plastic cup in urinals at a festival, waiting for people to inadvertently fill it, return to it and drink from it. It was purposeful, he did it several times. 🤮

That’s disturbing, but to each his own I guess.
