Does kava get you drunk?

Could you please clarify for me if consuming kava, often used in traditional ceremonies and as a relaxant, actually leads to a state of intoxication or "drunkenness" similar to what one might experience after consuming alcohol? I'm interested in understanding the effects of KAVA and how it differs from alcoholic beverages in terms of its ability to alter one's mental state or sense of well-being. Thank you for your insight.
