Is there a tea that intoxicates you?
I don't want to drink alcohol because I get sick sometimes. Is there a tea that can intoxicate me or make me feel relaxed or good?
Answers:
Tea has a very interesting chemical composition and contains many substances believed to have a positive effect on our health and overall well-being. Different teas each have their own specific chemical composition, and a black/red tea will for instance be high in caffeine and lower in antioxidants, while the situation is exactly the opposite for green and white teas. Tea drinking will produce short-term as well as long-term effects on the human body. Right after enjoying a nice cup of high-quality tea, you usually feel relaxed and invigorated. What you might not know, is that the long-term effects of tea might make it possible for you to stay clear of cancer.

Exercise. It naturally releases endorphins into your system that will make you relaxed. Don't rely on drugs such as alcohol to help make you feel good.
Blueberry teas help me, but they contain grandmarnier and ammeretto liquor. There is also sleepy time tea by Lipton, it doesn't contain alcohol and helps make you sleepy, I'll stick to the Blueberry type though.
Long island iced tea is the only tea that I know that will do that to you. Its not that bad.
There is Saki which is the Japanese tea, although it still contains alcohol. Or there is Kava which is the root of a plant and is widely used in the Pacific Island regions. I have heard it is becoming more widely used in Australia although I wouldn't know where to get it. As far as I know it is legal. These are its effects:
"..slight tongue and lip numbing caused by the contraction of the blood vessels in these areas (the lips and skin surrounding may appear unusually pale); mildly talkative and euphoric behavior; anxiolytic (calming) effects, sense of well-being, clear thinking; and relaxed muscles. Sleep is often restful and there are pronounced periods of sleepiness correlating to the amount and potency of Kava consumed. Unlike alcohol-induced sleep, after wakening the drinker does not experience any mental or physical after effects."
Regular tea has caffeine in it..
