Yeah the only problem with the public is the "uneducated mob mentality." Too much scrutiny and investigation at that point. Hahah. I like the "my little secret" relationship I have with my root. Not to say I won't discuss it with folks but I try to be selective.
The only problem w/ a kava bar that I can see would someone getting really krunked & having an auto accident going home. Liability lawyer's wettest dream. Maybe independently bottling & selling locally would be better. Call it Muddy Waters.
