Was some form of a chocolate drink not also enjoyed in Pre-Columbian society, such as among the Aztecs?

ParticipantYes, weren?t the Aztecs the ones who introduced cacao to the Europeans? I believe tobacco also came from there, right? What impact this has had on the world.

No. Aztecs didn't have many opportunities to introduce cacao to any other nation than Spanish.Dutch stole cacao from Spanish and so it began to be known in Europe.

ParticipantThat's what I meant, but yeah, I should have been more specific and said Spanish instead of Europeans.
