'''I tried a cup of kava, the South Pacific drink that some say could replace alcohol — here's what it was like''' | |||

Some adventurous eaters are starting to swap out their happy-hour cocktails for something a little more natural. | |||
Kava drinks — often referred to as "kava tea" — are made from the roots of a plant grown in the South Pacific, and they're known for their purported anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects. | |||
When ground up and mixed with water, the root turns into a juice that some claim can be a natural alternative to alcohol. It has been used for thousands of years as a ceremonial and social drink in the South Pacific. | |||
Basically, the drink mimics alcohol's relaxing and sedative effects without the downsides — no extreme emotions, no memory loss, and no hangover. Tech Insider previously reported on kava's key compound, kavain, which mimics a sedative and triggers relaxation in the body. It works as a muscle relaxer, so while you're mentally alert, you feel physically loose. | |||
Some people even claim that drinking kava makes them feel high. | |||
The drink has made its way to the US and is now being served at six KavaSutra bars across the country. Last Friday, I stopped by the New York City location to see if this magical drink was worth the hype. | |||
