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.
The officers looked the other way during the grog-fight that followed the return from exercise.

An alcoholic beverage made with rum and water, especially that once issued to sailors of the Royal Navy.
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.
(slang, dated) drunk.
(by extension, Australia, New Zealand) Any alcoholic beverage.
(military, slang, archaic) A drinking party.
