You're a friggin' pirate.
Minor correction here, Pop. Pirates drink grog. However, I'm assuming that TFG can boil some water.

I thought grog was made out of rum.

And where's the parrot, TFG?

I thought grog was made out of rum.
And hot water. But I'm wrong. It looks like grog is a Navy drink and Pirates drank Bumboo.

Wiki
The word grog may refer to a variety of alcoholic beverages. The word originally referred to a drink made with water or 'Small Beer' (a weak beer) and rum, which was introduced into the Royal Navy by British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon on 21 August 1740. Modern versions of the drink are often made with hot or boiling water, and sometimes include lemon juice, lime juice, cinnamon or sugar to improve the taste. Rum with water, sugar and nutmeg was known as Bumboo and was more popular with pirates and merchantmen.
