(First comments)[edit]

When was grog no longer officially distributed by the Royal Navy? And what were its proportions of water to rum? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.245.234.192 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 7 March 2005

The bit about Puzzle Pirates was wrong, swill is the low-grade liquor, with grog and fine rum being next — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.157.144.226 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 24 May 2005

"grog and games"

It seems to me that those other games use "grog" to pay homage to Monkey Island, so that listing them here may be redundant.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.77.235 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 12 September 2005

Practical demise of grog--Why?[edit]

The article clearly fails to explain what the advocates of temperance within the navies of the 1800s advocated to use in place of grog, and whether this shift was successful in practice (since the article tells us that grog was developed as an answer to water rations that became infected with algae). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.88.218.121 (talk) 04:43, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
