Description

🎧 Ever wonder why airports make it feel totally normal to order a mimosa at 7AM?

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the psychology, biology, and culture behind the airport drinking phenomenon, including:

  •  Why airports feel “outside of time” — and how that tricks your brain
  •   How stress, social proof, and clever marketing push early cocktails
  •   Why alcohol hits harder when you’re flying (think dehydration + low oxygen)
  •   Simple travel hacks to avoid groggy first-day hangovers
  •   How ingredients like Vitamin B1 and NAC (found in Daily Restore) can support energy, focus, and recovery when airports tempt you into day drinking

🎧 Tap play to learn why the 7AM Bloody Mary feels normal at the terminal — and how to start your trip smarter, healthier, and still fun.
