The 'Better Drink My Own Piss' meme originated from the Discovery Channel show 'Man vs. Wild,' where host Bear Grylls frequently demonstrated extreme survival tactics, most notoriously drinking his own urine to stay hydrated. The internet quickly seized on his perceived eagerness to resort to this method, creating image macros where Grylls suggests drinking urine as a solution to even the most trivial problems. Since its rise in 2010, the meme has become a staple of internet culture, symbolizing absurdly over-the-top reactions and the hilarious contrast between extreme survivalism and mundane everyday life.
