In Aztec mythology, the Centzon Totochtin (or "400 rabbits") were a colorful group of gods associated with drinking and drunkenness. It is believed that they represented the many forms intoxication takes in people of different temperaments and customs. Ometochtli, also known as "Two Rabbits", was the leader of the Centzon Totochtin.
In Aztec culture, pulque drinking had religious significance. It was served as a ritual intoxicant for priests and sacrificial victims, and was even considered to be an acceptable substitute for blood in some ceremonies. Consumption of pulque by the masses was limited to certain holidays when large tubs were set up in public squares. The Aztec elite wasn't subject to the same restrictions, however, and drank pulque throughout the year.
