Deadly drinks of Mexicans and pulque history

The piece notes Francisco Villa’s abstinence from intoxicants while Mexican border outrages are linked to pulque and mescal. It explains pulque as fermented maguey sap and mescal as distilled from leaves and roasted roots, contrasts alcohol content, and cites Mexico’s pulque production and domestic consumption figures. It adds legends about pulque’s romantic lore and remarks on nonexportability due to preservation limits.
