Is it reasonable to drink Kava after dinner?

[Pauli]

Usually you consum kava on empty stomach, but does it work after having had a full dinner?
(Austrian Germknödel) Or do I have to wait for four hours?

You can drink kava whenever you like, I drink before, after or even during dinner (last night).

3 -12+ hours for me produce the most desired effect.

I find it still produce effects to a certain degree with meals. It feels slower with diminished ups.

What's dinner? I just skip it and have a decent breakfast and lunch.

I love kava a little while after a meal. With or promptly after the food, my kava feels less strong or it feels like I can drink less because my belly is full. Sometimes I don't want flavors or food particles getting in the way of my kava drinking. However if I have not had a breakfast and drink kava upon awakening, food is the key, the difference between getting sick and enjoying my kava is having some food upon awakening before shells.

Sure thing. It will take much longer to absorb, and won't hit like a fresh cup of grog on an empty stomach but it is still quite enjoyable. I start my kava drinking around 5pm ahead of dinner and don't usually stop until 9-10ish. The first couple of shells are what drain away the day, after that and after dinner is just maintaining the vibe until the head hits the pillow. If I eat a really big meal I might not drink another shell for an hour just for stomach comfort.

It’s one of the most reasonable propositions I have ever heard.

 

[KavaBobo]

I usually have a light breakfast, no lunch, and hit mt first 2 shells before 2pm. Dinner at 4ish, wait till 6:30-7pm and then hit 2 more shells….only downside first few hours after I go to bed, I’m up and down pissing being that it is a diuretic.

 

[Blergs]

I wait 1-2 hrs after or before eating

 

[Kojo Douglas]

In a household of non-Kava drinkers, it can be a harder proposition. When I'm all by my lonesome, I abandon dinner for a Tanoa.

Tongans often do this but its only because of how we drink it.

Eating after dinner can help avoid nausea in large amounts. I always drink like an hour or 2 after dinner.
