In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook unpacks how music literally changes the way alcohol tastes and feels, including:

  • Why fast beats make you sip quicker while slow music makes drinks feel smoother
  • How pitch, tempo, and volume shape your perception of sweetness, bitterness, and intensity
  • The psychology behind why bars and brands curate music to sell more alcohol
  • How you can hack the music–flavor connection for mindful drinking (or even alcohol-free nights)
  • The role of supportive ingredients like Vitamin B1 and NAC (found in Daily Restore) in helping your brain and body recover after the night’s playlist fades

🎧 Tap play now to learn how your soundtrack shapes your sip — and how to design better nights, with or without the booze.
