Alcohol was part of the job
Can ya believe it? Freshwater spoiled fast, so rum, beer, or grog (rum with some water, citrus and sugar) were common aboard pirate ships.
Grog helped prevent scurvy thanks to the citrus, and getting a little buzzed helped with morale during long, miserable voyages. Plus, how f*ckin’ funny is the name ‘GROG’
