That is actually one of the spots in the game where I got stuck too!!  The thing is,  it aint necessarily THAT puzzle
that is so hard to work out..  its more getting what you have to USE.

You are at a Pirate's pad right?  He is a GROG fanatic right?  He challenges you to a GROG drinking contest right?

OK.. so logic would say first that you either have to get him to drink the grog first and hope HE passes out..  or find
a way to stop yourself from passing out when you drink.

I know that is pretty vague..  but if you are anything like me you rather be "nudged" so you can work it out yourself
than just be given an outright spoiler..

If I was TOO cryptic,  just post again and I will be a little more obvious.
