Dating in your 30s is supposed to be wiser, more grounded — but somehow, it still revolves around drinks. From wine-fueled first dates to “liquid courage” before awkward small talk, alcohol is the unofficial plus-one nobody asked for.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook unpacks the hidden ways alcohol messes with your dating life — from how it changes your perception of attraction to why you might feel anxious or regretful the morning after. You’ll learn:

• What science says about alcohol, attraction, and impaired judgment
• How booze leads to risky decisions — physically and emotionally
• Why “hangxiety” after dates is totally real (and not just you being dramatic)
• How alcohol-based relationships often mask red flags or emotional disconnection
• Smarter ways to date without letting alcohol run the show
• How ingredients like L-Theanine and Vitamin B6 (found in Daily Restore) support mood, clarity, and calm for more intentional connection
