    Um actually, the first god of destruction introduced in Dragon Ball is Beerus in the 2013 movie. The character was designed before Toriyama's involvement and his name was intended to be a pun on "virus", but Toriyama misinterpreted this and assumed it was a "beer" pun, which he then continued with Whis (whiskey). Later gods of destruction followed the alcohol theme in Dragon Ball Super.
