The other thought that occurs to me is style of peeing.

Men don't always compete to see who can pee highest up the wall. I.e.
aiming upwards to make an arc that would break up into discrete drops.

If you are staggering drunk and desperate to release the pressure I
suspect that the style might be to lean one hand against the nearest
wall / tree and pee pretty much straight down. A straight down stream
would be pretty much a continuous conductor.

Oh, and there have also been cases of dogs and horses being
electrocuted while peeing.
e.g. against faulty street light poles.
