We&rsquo;ve all been there, head pounding, stomach churning, swearing &ldquo;never again&rdquo;, only to do it all over again the next weekend. So why do we keep falling for the same hangover trap?
In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we peel back the curtain on the big lie of hangovers: why we minimize the pain, laugh it off, and even turn it into a cultural joke instead of seeing it for what it really is, a red flag from our body.
Here&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll cover:
<ul data-start="608" data-end="926">
<li data-start="608" data-end="726">
The science of hangovers in plain English (dehydration, dopamine crash, no REM sleep, body in full recovery mode).
</li>
<li data-start="727" data-end="840">
Why hangovers don&rsquo;t actually stop us: alcohol amnesia, dopamine hijack, and a culture that glamorizes misery.
</li>
<li data-start="841" data-end="926">
How to spot the moment when hangovers shift from &ldquo;funny story&rdquo; to &ldquo;wake-up call.&rdquo;
</li>
</ul>
And yes, there will be some laughs along the way. Think: breakfast burritos and bad decisions.&nbsp;
🎯 Actionable Takeaways:
<ol data-start="1093" data-end="1255">
<li data-start="1093" data-end="1182">
Start tracking how often you repeat the &ldquo;never again&rdquo; cycle &mdash; patterns are powerful.
</li>
<li data-start="1183" data-end="1255">
Reframe hangovers as warning labels instead of &ldquo;badges of honor.&rdquo;
</li>
</ol>
