Why does alcohol make you pee so much? 

It’s more than just a party joke — there’s real science behind it. Alcohol messes with your body’s ability to hold onto water, drains essential minerals, and can leave you feeling dehydrated, foggy, or restless the next day.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down what’s actually happening when you drink:

• How alcohol blocks the hormone that regulates urination
• Why you’re losing more water than you take in
• The role of key electrolytes like magnesium — and what happens when they’re gone
• What “breaking the seal” really means (and why it keeps happening)
• Simple strategies to stay hydrated, sleep better, and feel more balanced the next day

🎧 Tune in now to learn what alcohol is doing to your hydration — and what you can do to take better care of your body while still enjoying your night out.
