A beverage marketed with the claim of inducing relaxation or a state of heightened suggestibility falls into this category. These drinks often contain ingredients associated with sedative or anxiolytic effects, though regulations regarding such claims vary significantly. A common example includes cocktails or mixed drinks featuring certain herbal extracts or compounds known for their calming properties.
The allure of these products lies in their promise of stress reduction and a potential enhancement of social experiences. Historically, preparations aimed at altering mental states have been present in various cultures, albeit with differing purposes and ingredients. The appeal of facilitating relaxation or reducing inhibitions remains a consistent factor in the consumption of such beverages.
