Why is Rum the best alcohol

Solution
because it isn't snobby like whisky/brandy/wine, it doesn't have 500 faggy flavours like vodka/gin/cider and because pirates and sailors drank it.

Rum is shit brewed in garbage by niggers for the explicit purpose of getting shit faced, it's the soul and body of alcohol.
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the Devil had done for the rest--
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
 
Rum is made from molasses, which is the after-effect of making crystalized sugar.

It comes from plants, so it's healthy and vegan and shit, and it uses up a waste product, so it's good for ...recycling I guess.

It is tasty with fruit juice but only a heathen like myself would get the coconut flavored rum and put it in Sprite.

But really, I have a bottle and a half of the stuff sitting with arm's reach of my computer and that's what makes it the best. 💕

The idea that sailors drank rum comes from British naval tradition, and while not exactly inaccurate, it is very misleading.

For most its history, the British Royal Navy predominately drank beer and brandy. The Royal Navy did not start introducing rum into their rations until, informally, 1655 (following the conquest of Jamaica), and formally, 1740 (when Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon set the first recorded official guidelines for diluting naval rum). Even after this official endorsement by the Admiralty, rum did not replace beer right away; while rum was a common issuance for sailors serving in the Caribbean, elsewhere in the Empire, beer remained the drink of choice for at least the next century (such as the sailors of the East India Company and their preference for British IPA).

And this was just British sailors. In other European navies, beer and wine were the dominant drinks as well. According to Patrick W Hayes in his article, European naval diets in the sixteenth century: A quantitative method for comparative and nutritional analysis :

Beer was the most common drink among the northern European naval powers, while southern European fleets most often carried wine. French ships often carried a mixture of wine, beer, and cider, as in our sixteenth-century example. Later in the eighteenth century the number of alcohol beverages brought aboard naval vessels expanded. For example, rum became a common substitute for beer when vessels operated in the Caribbean (Rodger 1988, 73). However, beer remained the staple drink of most northern European fleets.​

As for pirates, while it is true that Caribbean pirates were recorded as having had a taste for bumbo (spiced rum, similar to mulled wine and hippocras), that was presumably more because of a lack of global supply chains than anything else. For example, neither Norse pirates nor Japanese pirates drank bumbo; they drank beer and mead, or sake and baiju, respectively.

Since when do spirits come in flavours. You must only shop in the faggot section.

I disagree. Rum is most gay.
