The Captain Who Created 'Grog' Why we say 'getting on the grog' - it's named after a real sea captain! Watch the full documentary for FREE at @beamfilm link in the comments (in the bio for instagram users) Captain 'Grog' (nickname for his rough coat) decided sailors' rum ration should be mixed with water - half pint rum to one quart water. This became the official shipboard drink in the 1700s, served in pewter tankards. When you were 'on the grog,' you were literally drinking this mixture! #Etym
