Abstract
TThis study was designed to investigate the effect of puerh tea (Camellia sinensis LINNE) on the disposition of alcohol concentration and hangover symptoms in healthy college students. Subjects were assigned to 5 groups: empty control, normal control, puerh tea group (2%, 4%, 10%, wjv), G-P group (G company product), and B-P group (B company product). The puerh tea extract decreased the alcohol concentration in respiration, especially at the concentration of 4% (w/v). As a result of questionnaire analysis, a higher score was shown after drinking puerh tea extract than that of the usual state, but the difference had no statistical significance (P<0.05).
