grog

Archaic British military slang for a drinking party or informal drunken gathering among soldiers or sailors. 'Grog' (diluted rum, issued to British sailors) gives the phrase its military-naval flavour. The 'fight' element suggests the rowdy, competitive nature of such sessions rather than actual violence.

(military, slang, archaic) A drinking party.

Groggified is a delightfully old-fashioned slang term for being drunk — specifically the kind of heavy, stupefied drunkenness associated with too much grog (cheap spirits or rum). The -ified suffix gives it an almost scientific air, as if intoxication were a formal chemical process. While the word is largely dated today, it has a rollicking, Dickensian charm that occasionally resurfaces in writing that wants to evoke period colour or comedic excess.
