I have read this in at least one other source that was talking about how ladies of King Henry VIII"s court were granted one gallon of beer each per day & it said that many noble women would sometimes just pee where they stood. Game of Thrones mirrors this well when Tyrion complains that the city smells of sh#t.
In an attempt to alleviate the terrible smells, Henry had the halls filled with flowers. However, this did little to negate the scents of death, so the palace eventually had to be evacuated in order to be properly aired out.
