Latin Aqua Vitae, and French Eau de Vie are also terms for Alcoholic spirits 
that also mean "water of life."  I think you will find that MANY cultures 
called their booze "the water of life."  I think the Scottish term Uisbaugh 
from which we get the English word whiskey also means something pretty close 
to the same thing.
