Grog, and the end of Navy rum rations:
Grog is an alcoholic beverage made with water and rum. It was introduced into the Royal Navy by British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon on 21 August 1740.
Citrus juice was added to the recipe to cut down on the water's foulness. Although they did not know the reason at the time, Vernon's sailors were healthier than the rest of the navy, due to the daily doses of vitamin C that prevented scurvy. This custom, in time, got the British the nickname 'limeys'.
On July 30, 1970 the last pipe of "Up Spirits" in the Royal Navy was heard and is referred today as "Black Tot Day"
