Let's go back to the roots of stronger, distilled spirituals won't we? We're talking middle-ages here. Next to vodka (Eastern Europe) and rum (Asia) distillation technologies of those days provided another potent drink soaking the mariner veins of our ancestors. The veins of the trader-conquerors of the low lands were soaked in jenever providing them dutch courage and enabling them to explore and rule the seas in those days, before those pesky islanders outnumbered them ...

So, if any drink should be added to the current spectrum, next to vodka and rum, jenever / gin should earn the honour imo.
