Ever wonder why walking straight after a few drinks feels like a full-body workout? It’s not just in your head — it’s real, and it’s science.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down exactly how alcohol throws off your balance, coordination, and muscle control, including:

  • How alcohol slows down your brain’s “balance center”
  • Why your inner ear and nerves stop syncing up after drinking
  • What dehydration and nutrient loss have to do with stumbling
  • Simple strategies to stay steadier (and feel better the next day)
  • How Vitamin B1 and NAC can support brain and nerve recovery

🎧 Tune in now to find out why booze makes walking feel like a circus act — and how to stay on your feet, smarter and stronger.
