CHARLESTON, S.C., July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- July 31, 1970 was a sad day for members of the British Royal Navy as the Admiralty Board discontinued the centuries-old tradition of providing a daily "tot" of rum to enlistees. Affectionately known as "Black Tot Day (BTD) in the UK and other Commonwealth countries, the ritual dates back to 1655 when shipboard life was incredibly difficult and the daily issue of Pusser's Rum was the highlight of the day.
