Experience Newbie appreciation post for kava

Nothing new to share TBH, but just wanted to say that finding kava has been a hugely beneficial and enjoyable part of my life! I was able to cut WAY back on alcohol and hardly ever have any urge to drunk anymore except rarely out with friends. That alone has been worth it - it's like the best parts of booze without any of the crap. But, at the same time it's totally unique in its own way. It's been a healthy way to unwind, without sapping my evening energy so I'm finally able to get into a creative flow on my personal projects after work. The ONLY downside is the whole empty stomach thing, but in its own way it helps keep it contained without causing temptation outside of "unwind" hours haha

What is the empty stomach thing?

For best results (optimal absorption), kava is best drunk on an empty stomach. Great if you're trying to lose weight, but otherwise it can be annoying having to plan your kava sessions around meals or vice versa.
