Aztecs

The ancient Aztecs made a fermented beverage from the Century Plant or Maguey plant called Pulque. The alcoholic content was equivalent to modern-day beer. But the Pulque drink was forbidden for anyone below the age of 60. First offenses drew relatively light punishment, but repeat offenses could be punished by death. The Aztecs also made a frothy and bitter beverage from Cocoa beans called Xocolatl.
