So, I just learned that kava 1) has an accumulative effect in our systems, and 2) can make the effect of alcohol stronger.
I drink socially. If I’m at dinner, out dancing, or - as is the case this coming Sunday - at a theme park, I’ll have 1-3 drinks timed to be done several hours before driving home.
I want to understand the potential risks here so I can adjust my choices accordingly. Right now I’m enjoying drinking 2-3 tbsp Kava each day. I’m not planning to do that every day forever, but right now it’s nice since I’ve really had terrible insomnia.
Should I stop Kava X number of days before I know I’ll be drinking? Or just make sure I stop after just 1 drink if I’ve had Kava within a certain time frame?
To be clear, I get that everyone’s body is different. I’m not looking for perfect answers I can take to the bank. More your best judgment on what sounds safe and smart.
