A simple answer for you.... To add alcohol to an otherwise weak drink. Maybe you don't want to add flavor to an already balanced drink like a Daiquiri. Or maybe you only want to add a wee bit of flavor while adding alcohol, and white rum has more flavor than your typical vodka.

That's a good point although I like the flavour of the spirit to be part of the drink. Speaking for myself, if the flavour of the drink doesn't need alcohol, why add it.
