This official allowance continued until after the <a href="/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars" title="Napoleonic Wars">Napoleonic Wars</a>. When beer was not available, as it would often spoil easily, it could be substituted by a pint of wine or half a pint of spirits depending on what was locally available. In 1655, the difficulty in storing the large quantities of liquid required led to beer's complete replacement with spirits, with the political influence of the West Indian planters giving rum preference over <a href="/wiki/Arrack" title="Arrack">arrack</a> and other spirits. The half-pint of spirits was originally issued neat; it is said that sailors would "<a href="/wiki/Alcohol_proof" title="Alcohol proof">prove</a>" its strength by checking that gunpowder doused with rum would still burn (thus verifying that rum was at least 57% ABV). </p><p>The practice of compulsorily diluting rum in the proportion of half a pint to one quart of water (1:4) was first introduced in 1740 by Admiral <a href="/wiki/Edward_Vernon" title="Edward Vernon">Edward Vernon</a> (known as Old Grog, because of his habitual <a href="/wiki/Grogram" class="mw-redirect" title="Grogram">grogram</a> cloak).<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ration was split into two servings, one between 10 am and noon and the other between 4 and 6 pm.
