Ancient Mexican Alcohol Also Worked As Nutrition Supplement – Less than an hour’s drive from the heart of Mexico City lies the expansive ruins of Teotihuacan, a massive city of nearly 120,000 people who built pyramids, temples and palaces before disappearing around 650 A.D. This civilization remains a mystery in many ways, but new research has found they brewed a tequila-like drink called pulque as a source of food and nutrition.
Pulque is a milky-white liquor made from the maguey plant, a relative of the agave used in tequila and is still popular among local residents. According to a new study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, traces of pulque have been found on pottery shards dating at Teotihuacan dating back to 150 B.C.
