Drink with G: gin, mulled wine, Grog.
Down to see the Grog I murdered?
Grog, I have to say this is an honor.
Grog was invented by sailors in the British Navy a few centuries ago.
In Fiji, on the other hand, Grog refers to water mixed with a fine powder
made from sun-dried kava root.
This all brings us back to the origin of the name“Grog”, which is thought to be named
in honor of Vice Admiral Vernon.
As such, it wasn't uncommon for captains to
be given bonuses if they didn't serve Grog or any other alcoholic beverage while they shipped goods.
While Grog was extremely popular throughout the navy,
many merchants discouraged ships they hired from serving it to their crews as sailors still tended to get a little drunk from it, which caused problems at times.
