Young and drunk, one didn't care too much. Women in those days if caught short could hide under a parked lorry, but most of them are too close to the ground these days.
It isn't very civilized to pee on the pavement or in a doorway. Some doorways in Soho for example used to get very nasty indeed. In recent years when caught short by certain sorts of beer, I have peed in the gutter between parked cars (not on them), hoping any passing officious copper would take me for a bona fide traveller... If you find a drain it's even better.
No one gives a damn even in broad daylight.
