About this listen

Why does alcohol feel stronger during the holidays — even when you drink the same amount?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook uncovers how nostalgia, stress, cold weather, disrupted routines, and old emotional memories all combine to make December drinking hit way harder than your usual sip.

You’ll learn:

• Why holiday nostalgia supercharges your emotional response to alcohol
• How stress, sleep changes, and winter dehydration increase alcohol’s impact
• Why one festive drink can feel stronger — and why the next-day crash hits harder
• The hidden psychological cues that make holiday drinking feel “different”
• How ingredients like Vitamin B1 and NAC (found in Daily Restore) support energy, clarity, and healthy recovery during heavy holiday seasons

🎧 Tap play to understand why your holiday buzz feels intense — and how to stay grounded while still enjoying the season.
