hangover

[kl.spaceshipper]

I drank about a quarter cups worth of Fiji1 the other night and noticed some hangover-like effects. I felt tired, slow and a bit irritable in the morning and these slowly faded, eventually going away by the mid-afternoon. Does anybody else get this? Is there way to prevent it? I drank plenty of water. Also, it was the first time I had had kava for a few weeks so I didn't have much of a reverse tolerance going, not sure if that is relevant. Thanks!

You drank plenty of water?



Does that mean you brewed up some kava with something other than water or coconut juice?



I've never gotten any hangover type effects from kava. That's one of the reasons I use kava and haven't had anything with alcohol in it for going past 10 months.

i made it with water and olive oil, but kava makes me pee a TON so i need to drink a lot of water in addition. also, i didnt start drinking it until around 10:30, went to sleep at 2 and got up at 9. Should i be drinking it earlier in the evening>

Did you have any coffee or regular soda that day? Did you eat before or after? Did you have any citrus? Kava is a diuretic so that's expected.

If you haven't had any coffee or soda the only thing I can think of, and it's not likely, is that you ate something and the kava didn't sit well with it. Maybe you had some citrus fruit juice or something and that didn't sit well with it. Other than that either A) your body just doesn't like kava OR that verity of kava or B) you're taking some kind of medication on the side?

when I started drinking kava, I would feel very sluggish the next day (along with stomach issues). Now 90% of the time I feel refresh and mellow. If I drink a lot on consecutive days the mellowness causes me to feel unmotivated. The oddest happened recently, I drank a lot of stone and I think something else, the next day my muscles felt like jelly.



The irritable feeling still happens sometimes, but not often.

This happens when I drink stone or wow. Thats why I really like paradise kavas 100% awa, this never happens and its really potent and delicious.
As for a way to solve it, have some coffee to wake you up, it almost makes it go away completely.
