Ever wake up after a night out and feel like your memory doesn’t quite match what actually happened? Not gone… just off. Smoothed over. Slightly rewritten.
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down what really happens to your memory when you drink—and why your brain doesn’t just forget, it reconstructs.
We explore:
• Why alcohol disrupts memory formation at the source
• How your brain fills in missing moments without telling you
• What “blackouts” really are—and why they’re not empty gaps
• How next-day anxiety reshapes what you think happened
• Why every time you remember something, you change it
This isn’t about losing memory. It’s about how your brain builds reality—and how easily that reality can shift.
🎧 Listen in and rethink what you remember from last night.
