EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!
Alcohol on ship was the staff of life==the only potable liquid that could be taken on ocean voyages. However, misuse could be deadly.
Drunken sailors would, of course get into routs with each other. This would endanger the whole crew and the ship, its cargo, and its mission.
Drunken Sailor was a work song often sung when raising a sail or raising the anchor, which is the reference for “Up She Rises” in the song’s chorus. Such songs were the only ones allowed in the Royal Navy. Most often, only two or three verses were sung but verses were often added until the task was completed.
"what do you do with a drunken sailor,early in the morning?"
