Ever feel like you “deserve” that glass of wine after a long day? You’re not alone — but what if that after-work ritual is doing more harm than good?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook dives into the psychological and biological trap of using alcohol as a reward, including:
- How alcohol hijacks your brain’s dopamine and cortisol systems
- Why drinking to “relax” actually disrupts sleep, spikes stress, and drains energy
