    The interesting thing is that it works even a as placebo.

    The are several studies done with subjects drinking alcoholic beverages or non alcoholic alternatives (non known to subjects).

    The non alcoholic group does show inebriated behavior, even though no alcohol is present.

    It shows that the convention of being less inhibited whilst drinking is a social construct, rather than an effect of the drink.
