Makes you drunk. Rum can be made by using a fire bug to burn away the useless leaves on sugar cane, then using a sickle to cut it. Now collect the bunches of sugar cane and use them with a distilling machine. Use a fluid container such as a cup or bottle on the distilling machine to get the rum; each bunch of sugar cane provides 10 seconds of rum production. There is a rum cask in Sabrehaven and Liberty Bay.
