About this listen
The holidays come with lights, music, traditions — and for a lot of people, an automatic reach for a drink. But what if that festive pour isn’t about celebration at all… but about feeling something you’re missing?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the emotional psychology behind holiday drinking, including:
- Why stress, nostalgia, loneliness, and pressure make December a peak drinking month
- How alcohol becomes a shortcut to relief — even when it creates more chaos later
- The hidden needs you’re trying to meet with every “holiday sip”
- What happens in your brain during seasonal stress, and why the urge feels stronger
- Healthier ways to get the calm or connection you’re actually craving
You’ll also hear how supportive ingredients like Vitamin B1 and NAC (found in Daily Restore) can help your body stay balanced during a season when alcohol is everywhere — without judgment or extremes.
🎧 Tap play to explore the real feelings behind your holiday drinking habits — and how to support yourself in ways that actually make you feel good.
