    Spotted a Tapping The Admiral from 1873:

    "Why, sir, I've heard of sailers so wild for grog,
    sir, that they tapped a hogshead what they know'd
    had a dead corpse in it, goin' over seas for burial."

    - middle of a paragraph of page 112 of Nothing
    To Drink, by Julia McNair Wright (1873)

    I'm having a taste flashback now, and not a good one.
