Why Alcohol Affects Men and Women So Differently

Why does alcohol hit some people harder than others — even when they drink the same amount? The answer isn’t just “tolerance” — it’s biology.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the science of how alcohol affects men and women differently, including:
  • How body composition and enzyme levels change alcohol absorption
  • The role of hormones in how long alcohol stays in the body
  • Why women face higher long-term health risks from alcohol — even at lower amounts
  • Why next-day symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, or poor sleep can feel worse depending on your sex
  • How ingredients like Vitamin B1 and L-Theanine (found in Daily Restore) can support your body and mind if you're cutting back
🎧 Listen now to understand how alcohol affects your body — and how to drink smarter with that knowledge.
