The Alcohol Reset by Cloud9

Ever wonder why “just a couple drinks” can leave you feeling tired, anxious, or totally off the next day? It’s not always about how much you drink — it’s about how fast, how often, and how your body has to recover.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the 1/2/3 Rule — a simple, science-backed approach to drinking more mindfully:
  • Why one drink per hour helps your liver and brain keep up
  • How limiting drinking to two days a week gives your body time to reset
  • What happens when you stay under three drinks per night
  • The surprising role of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) in energy, clarity, and recovery
  • Practical strategies to feel better during and after drinking — without going all-or-nothing
🎧 Tune in now to learn how the 1/2/3 rule can help you feel clearer, calmer, and more in control — without giving up your social life.
