Ever feel like your drinking habits are “fine” — because they’re small?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook unpacks the psychology and science of micro-habits around alcohol — the ones that seem harmless but quietly shape your energy, focus, and mood over time.
You’ll learn:
🍷 Why those nightly or “occasional” drinks influence your brain and sleep more than you think
🧠 How tiny routines — not binge nights — are what really build dependence
🌿 The science behind how your body adjusts (and what to do about it)
💊 How ingredients like Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) — found in Cloud9’s Daily Restore — can help replenish focus, energy, and detox pathways while you build better habits
🎧 Tap play to explore how small choices around alcohol add up — and how to take back control, one mindful moment at a time.
