What would you drink on a desert island?

Vodkapundit(I think) rightly takes Las Vegas' mayor to task for telling a bunch of school children he would take a bottle of gin if stranded on a desert island.

Gin? On a desert island? That's like wearing white after Labor Day, or novelty golf pants to a wedding. You drink rum on a desert island, not gin. Unless, of course, you have proper refrigeration for the gin. In which case, hey, I'll take a dry martini.

What kind of role model is Oscar Goodman if he doesn't tell the kids to also bring olives??? (For the record, I had my first gin martini when I was three. Beefeaters. Put hair on my chest.) No olives, no vermouth, no ice, and failing all that no tonic, then you drink rum. Conveniently, with coconut milk and a pineapple, you could even have a nice make-do pina colada.
