Do Kava and Alcohol Combine?
For some reason, as kava drinking gets more popular in the United States, we find that we get asked the question about whether kava and alcohol mix more and more often! I’m not sure why, but we’ve now been asked enough that I decided to devote a post to discuss whether it might be dangerous as well as what the effects of mixing the two might be. First, I want to stress that we would never advocate mixing two drinks that have very noticeable effects on the body and mind.

I laugh not to be mean, but rather because I was recently appalled and, I have to admit, a little angered by what I read regarding Fiji’s coach Joe Dakuitoga’s banning the Fijian rugby team from drinking kava while they were on their quest for the World Cup.

Crime, gambling and a black market trade in alcohol and marijuana are on the rise following the federal government’s ban on kava kava, remote Northern Territory councils say. First introduced to Aboriginal communities in the 1980s as an alternative to alcohol, kava kava was officially outlawed as part of the government’s intervention. But now, with existing kava kava supplies drying up, Yirrkala Community Council coordinator Adrian Rota said crime had increased in the dry Arnhem Land community. “People who have drunk kava in the past are drinking alcohol, and it’s...
