Etymologies
from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
A piss-up requires alcoholic beverages and people to drink them. The beverages would be readily available at a brewery, so the only planning task required would be how to get people there. Someone who cannot complete this simple task successfully is presumed to have trouble planning for a more complex project.
