The Science Behind the Buzz

Unlike traditional mocktails or zero-proof spirits, Sentia isn’t just about flavor—it’s about function. Created by scientists at GABA Labs, these drinks alter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain’s chemistry, to mimic intoxication. In other words, it taps into the same neural pathways that alcohol does, creating that familiar, feel-good sensation—without a drop of booze.

Professor David Nutt, one of the minds behind Sentia, explains, “It’s a drink based on the science of alcohol—particularly those low doses that help you unwind and feel more social.” So, while you’re not technically drinking alcohol, your brain might think you are.

Pick Your Mood

Sentia comes in three distinct blends, each designed to enhance a different experience:

Red – Perfect for winding down and relaxing.

Gold – Crafted for socializing and good vibes.

Black – Designed to boost productivity and focus.

Where to Get It

Right now, Sentia Spirits is only available in the U.S. through Amazon, making it easy to try out this brain-boosting alternative.

So, whether you’re ditching alcohol for Dry January, cutting back for wellness reasons, or just curious about the future of drinking—Sentia might be the game-changer you've been waiting for. Cheers to a new way to sip! 🥂
