Long before mezcal, the gods of ancient Mexico apparently understood one universal truth about drinking:
Everyone gets drunk differently.
According to legend, Mayahuel—the goddess associated with agave and pulque—was the mother of the Centzon Tōtōchtin: the 400 Rabbits of Intoxication.
And these weren’t just 400 rabbits running around hammered.
Each rabbit represented a different expression of drunkenness, like…
🐇 The Loud Rabbit
🐇 The Storyteller
🐇 The Crier
🐇 The Fighter
🐇 The Disappearing Rabbit
🐇 The One-More-Round Rabbit
🐇 The Industry Rabbit
🐇 The 3 A.M. Philosopher

You know these rabbits. You’ve drank with these rabbits. You’ve probably been a few of these rabbits.
And “400” wasn’t necessarily meant as a literal headcount. It was a way of saying countless—because apparently there are countless versions of us waiting at the bottom of a glass.
Which raises a very important question:
Which rabbit are you drinking with tonight? 🐇🥃
Choose wisely.
Or leave it to the coin. 🪙
