The Chest of a Thousand Grogs is a Cursed Treasure Chest in Sea of Thieves, that causes its carrier to be drunk. Treasure Chests are locked with locks that can only be opened by Skeleton Keys held by Gold Hoarders on every Outpost. They are willing to buy these Chests for a fraction of their worth.

The scrapped Female Chest of a Thousand Grogs
The Chest of a Thousand Grogs curses those who carry it with endless Grog drunkenness, causing the Player Pirate to have blurry vision, swaying side-to-side movement, and start hearing distorted sounds along with accompanying Concertina music to the tune of "Drunken Sailor". Jumps while holding the chest, a cheer will be heard, and an abrupt collision sound of a Concertina when touching ground.
The Chest will also affect Rowboat handling when a Player is paddling one while carrying the Chest on back.
The Chest has a Grog tap on its front, allowing Players to refill their Tankards.
