Kava Kava is rather interesting. If you drink too much it will just make you tired, but if you hit the right sweet spot it's got a kind of a warm, relaxed, blissful feel to it. You get the social courage and ease of alcohol without taking that hit to your intelligence. I used to put mine in plastic flasks and take slugs throughout the night. In between the silly faces I'm sure I made, in response to the taste, I had a great time.
