I was thinking of a class I took on Mesoamerican Prehistory. I can't name any specific texts offhand, but I vaguely recall Bernal Díaz de Castillo or maybe one of the other cronistas mentioning pulque in his chronicles. Doing a Google Scholar search for pulque+mexica I found this list of sources on alcohol in Latin America: Bibliografia sobre consumo de alcohol en América Latina

Tom Abercrombie's book 'Pathways of memory and power' is where I read about chicha in the Andes.
