Mescal is a type of plant used to make alcoholic beverages. When Linda first arrived at the reservation, mescal became her drug of choice, as soma was no longer available to her. She describes the effects of the mescal as making her sick, and worse, making her ashamed.

“I suppose John told you. What I had to suffer-and not a gramme of soma to be had. Only a drink of mescal every now and then, when Popé used to bring it. Popé is a boy I used to know. But it makes you feel so bad afterwards. the mescal does, and you’re sick with the peyotl; besides it always made that awful feeling of being ashamed much worse the next day. And I was so ashamed.
