This has been a complete revelation.We all have different relationships with alcohol; mine is as follows.I am in my early sixties, I clearly drink too much but can always function the next day which might be a curse in itself. The biggest issue apart from the effects on my liver is that my brain seems to find alcohol just plain moreish. If I have one glass of wine, I then want four. Conversely, I can happily go an evening without alcohol, and only drink after about 7pm. But annoyingly, alcoholic drinks taste nice - far better than mocktails in my opinion.So I tried Sentia Gold with an open mind.I looked up what people were mixing it with and plumped for two parts Sentia Gold, three parts freshly squeezed lime (or lemon) and topped it up with Sprite/7Up/equivalent to fill a coupe glass.The taste is demonstrably better than a normal mocktail but not as great as, say, a classic margarita or a glass of decent wine,I find I get a 'hit' quite quickly - faster than wine.I feel a little whoozy and relaxed, and can very slightly slur the occasional word.The effect/half life seems to be shorter than alcohol, but in a good way.I do not find it moreish or addictive, but I will tend to have a second 'cocktail' an hour or so later.There is no hangover. In fact, I seem to have extra energy in the mornings.Just possibly I get the occasional mild headache when drinking it - it is hard to say given there are plenty of colds and viruses about.Personally, I don't think I will drive a car etc straight after drinking it, just to be on the safe side.Best of all, it seems to put me off wanting to drink alcohol proper.I appreciate we are all different, but I would urge people to give this a whirl.I have not tried the other flavours yet - Sentia Gold tastes a bit like orange cordial.

Saw it on tv no alcohol show , sounded great, feel great after drinking it without the down side of alcohol. Total rubbish, cost a fortune and did nothing absolutely nothing! I really regret buying it , feel completely conned!!

Firstly the price. I believe it is a little expensive for 500ml. I tried it with both tonic water and also with sprite. Both tasted nice, but I would say with the tonic the ginger flavour is more pronounced. The sprite dulls this somewhat and adds some sweetness. Generally the taste is mild citrus with a definite ginger/spicy note. After one drink with around 40ml it did give me a noticeable heady, relaxed feeling however this was not intense and only lasted maybe 20 minutes at most. I would consider buying this again as a treat or I may try the other flavours.

I bought this with high hopes as I have given up alcohol for health reasons. The taste is good and it was lovely chilled with ice but it had no effect beyond what any fruit juice would have. I also think it’s quite expensive. To be sure it wasn’t just me I shared some with a friend and she agreed. Great idea but I wonder if it’s more the placebo effect but then maybe it works on others so if you are curious do try it ..To the makers if they read this- please keep researching as there is a true gap in the market!

The effect on me of a sentia and tonic was similar to the effect of a small glass of wine. Tasted fine. In fact it was quite refreshing with tonic and ice. I'm unlikely to buy it again though, unless they do something about the high cost. Worth trying once.

Tastes great, hope it does what is said o the bottle

Omg super happy with this.My friend told me about it, and as I have an intolerance to alcohol for past 8 years, I thought I’d give it a go.This is a total game changer, I had two drinks mixed with Coke before my night out (approximately 50-70ml id say.Went to a bar to meet friends and definitely felt very relaxed and basically like I’d had a few glasses of wine. My partner who does drink tried it also and he said he felt drunk. We were just chatty and giggly and super relaxed.The taste is kind of strange. It tasted a bit gingery to me like ginger ale mixed with Coke. I think next time I would try it with tonic. But it was pleasant.I really hope they start stocking this in bars.100% recommend trying this.

I've looked into this and I can see that a lot of science and good intentions have gone into the product. Not an unpleasant taste, but I didn't get any buzz or feeling of relaxation in the way I would after a pint or a large glass of wine. I tried doubling the recommended amount (mixed with tonic and a drop of lime) and I felt a bit weird, sort of slightly woozy and faintly nauseous. So, not for me, although I don't regret giving it a go and I'm not accusing anyone of trying to con me. I could have had 3 half decent bottles of wine for the same amount. Im not a big drinker and have over time cut down to maybe 3 drinks a week. I can enjoy a pint or a glass of wine and stop there. I think I'll just carry on like that.
