grog

If all this jesting and jousting about historically documented misogyny, maternal misery and decapitation isn’t your goblet of grog after a while, “Six” smartly pivots in the final wife’s number, “I Don’t Need Your Love.”

Just a few days earlier, a grog run had gone terribly wrong on the road.

Ponche predated grog, the drink ordered by Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon to replace the daily beer ration, which spoiled too quickly during long voyages and was too heavy to transport.

Every Saturday night in “the Ritz,” as the common room of the ship was known, a ration of grog was issued to all hands.

As long as the grub and grog kept comin’, and as long as everyone had a few turns gripping and ripping.
