The Alcohol Reset by Cloud9

Dry mouth after drinking is obvious—but what about your eyes?

That scratchy, tired, slightly blurry feeling after a night out isn’t random. Alcohol dehydrates your system, disrupts your tear film, and even affects how your eyes recover overnight.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down what’s really happening:

Why alcohol reduces tear production and dries your eyes
The reason your eyes look red and feel irritated
How sleep disruption makes eye fatigue worse
Why screen time + alcohol hits your eyes harder
Simple ways to keep your eyes clear and comfortable

🎧 Tune in and see how alcohol affects more than just your mouth—it’s showing up in your vision too.
