That’s a pretty small target for a guy to hit, especially if a dude is drunk.

Luckily, that wasn't a problem in the ancient world -- men just 'went' wherever they happened to be, women did so but with more attempts at privacy. By Roman times there were public urinals maintained by the fullers, who used urine in the processing of wool. Women also used indoor facilities, but tended not to leave the house that much.
Titus complained of the tax which Vespasian had imposed on the contents of the city urinals. Vespasian handed him a coin which had been part of the first day's proceeds: "Does it smell bad?" he asked. And when Titus said "No" he went on: "That's odd -- it comes straight from the urinal."
