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.
