In this sense, these terms are also used for additional words related to alcohol. For instance, ''madhushala'' is a Hindi word for an establishment that serves alcohol, as is ''madiralaya'' (lit. ''abode of alcohol'', c.f. [[himalaya]], ''abode of snow''). ''Madmast'' (मदमस्त, مدمست) means ''intoxicated due to alcohol'', and is a word frequently used in poetry and song in the region, sometimes as a stylized reference to being in an emotional state resembling intoxication for other reasons, such as romantic love.<ref name="ref69quqez">{{Citation | title=Aspects, voix et diathèses en hindi moderne: syntaxe, sémantique, énonciation | author=Annie Montaut | publisher=Peeters Publishers, 1991 | isbn=978-90-6831-349-9 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=swQ87C5wBVMC | quote=''... dusro ko pi:kar madmast banne do, tum bhi: pi:kar madmast bano ... laisse les autres s'enivrer en buvant, toi aussi enivre toi en buvant ...''}}</ref>

''Madhu'' has been used for millennia in a similar metaphorical sense as ''wine'' is in English, e.g. "''the wine of truth''{{-"}}, and employed in that manner in Hindu religious literature. For example, the [[Brihadaranyaka Upanishad]], believed to have been composed in the first millennium BCE, contains a chapter called the ''Madhu Brahmana'' and "the secret essence of the [[Vedas]] themselves, was called the madhu-vidya or honey doctrine".<ref name="ref48xuxel">{{Citation | title=Soma: the divine hallucinogen | author=David L.

Scholars date this metaphorical usage of ''madhu'' to a time very close to the initial composition of the Vedas. [[Soma (drink)|Soma]], the shared sacred drink of the Indo-Iranians (known as ''Haoma'' in Avestan), is often metaphorically referred to as ''Madhu'' in the Vedas. However, "the Avesta, which is quite close to the Veda with regard to the terminology of Soma, does not know the equation Soma = madhu."<ref name="ref83lufuc">{{Citation | title=The religion of the Veda | author=Hermann Oldenberg | publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ., 1988 | isbn=978-81-208-0392-3 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uKeubCiBOPQC | quote=... the Avesta, which is quite close to the Veda with regard to the terminology of Soma, does not know the equation 'Soma' = 'madhu'.
