    The rum ration, or "tot", from 1866 to 1970 consisted of one-eighth of an imperial pint (71 ml) of rum at 95.5 proof (54.6% ABV), given out at midday.

    The grog usually consists of various alcoholic beverages mixed together, unappealing to the taste, and contained in a toilet bowl.

    I've just had a quick browse through the Imperial War Museum digital collection, and found two images of sailors receiving a grog ration during WWII.
