1903, Max Bauer,Der deutsche Durst: Methyologische Skizzen der deutschen Kulturgeschichte[2]:Ja, der altgermanischeMet war ein Tränkchen, dessen Vollgenuß man nicht so leicht vergaß. Wer den braunen, reichlich süßen Saft einmal zu sich genommen, z. B. in jenem uralten Metkeller Wiens, dem »süßen Löch'l«, der erinnert sich, auch nach Jahren noch, mit recht geteilten Gefühlen der bittersüßen Nachwirkungen, die sich mild aber doppelt äußern, ehe sie als geradezu unverwüstlicher Kater ausklingen.- (pleaseadd an English translation of this quotation)
