Ever noticed how a drink can take the edge off pain… but somehow you feel worse the next day?
That’s not relief — that’s a delay.
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down what alcohol is actually doing to your brain when it seems to “numb” pain — and why that short-term relief often comes back stronger later.
You’ll learn:
• How alcohol alters GABA and glutamate to “turn down” pain signals • Why your brain treats alcohol like noise-canceling headphones for discomfort • The hidden rebound effect that makes pain feel worse the next day • How inflammation, cortisol, and hangovers amplify sensitivity • Why emotional pain also hits harder after drinking
Plus, we explore how nutrients like Vitamin B1 and NAC (found in Daily Restore) help support your nervous system and recovery when your body is under that kind of stress.
🎧 Tap play to understand why alcohol doesn’t remove pain — it just postpones it… and makes the bill higher later.
