splice the mainbrace
An order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with a drink, traditionally grog. The phrase "splice the mainbrace" is used idiomatically meaning to go ashore on liberty, intending to go out for an evening of drinking.

Ironically the American and Russian Navies are the only major seapowers that are dry afloat.
