I am curious what info there is about this subject. As a person who regularly drank quite a bit, I began getting it under control (2 8% beers each night) and then after starting kava often only have 1 beer a night. I was quite pleased how much I enjoyed kava and how it unexpectedly made me become disinterested in alcohol and therefore drink less without even really trying to.
But I am just curious about details and experiences with using them both at the same time or one after another. Getting a nice kava flow going beforehand really helps 1 drink feel like enough, but I'm not sure if drinking kava and then drinking a beer 15 minutes later is potentially quite bad for the body. I understand that anything processed by the liver is bad to stack on top of other things the liver has to deal with, but I'd also assume the main issue would be large amounts of either or both at once.
Furthermore, do you like having alcohol any time around your kava? In close proximity I find that the alcohol basically potentiates the kava quite a bit and I find myself with this nice, carefree buzz that feels great both physically and mentally. And it is such a wonder to drink hardly any alcohol and instantly, without any determination, react with "No more, that is enough" and feel quite easily content with that. I can't believe I didn't look into kava more for such a purpose in the past.
Going forward, my plan is to cut drinking down to where it is not every night and then also reduce kava intake. One of the beautiful things I have found about kava is that you don't have to be F'd to truly enjoy it; even in very mild and subtle amounts, it can be quite nice.
Cheers
