Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. I’m Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesn’t quite add up — and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No “rock bottom” stories required.
We talk about what alcohol really does to the body, brain, and nervous system, why cravings and rituals are so persistent, and why willpower isn’t the issue most people think it is. You’ll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly — whether you’re still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but don’t feel settled.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m intelligent, capable, and functional… so why can’t I just stop?” you’re in the right place.

Those toes will never know the feel of a ballet shoe. The sunlight that scorches through the clouds; she will eat that too. One year old, barely two, the gatekeepers of her stomach keep shovelling it through. Cannonballs of sugar fired into her veins - parents holding the wick, preparing to flicker. How long will it linger? It’s a forever thing; you don’t know that; I want to call you a silly twat, take you to town with ball and bat. But here’s the thing. It’s a lack of education. Your daughter is a bull, and if you keep feeding her like that, if you do not teach her the wisdom of a healthy life, then every single Starbucks and McDonalds will look like a matador’s muleta. And she will charge straight into the gates of hell. And you will lose her, and she will lose herself. Use your lightsaber, not as a way to cut her dreams in two, but to illuminate her chances of getting through this life without being broken into a million different pieces by all those sticks and stones. The Truth About Alcohol We Are Not Alcoholics, And We Refuse to be Anonymous I wrote that little ditty after seeing parents shovelling a dessert down the throat of an obese child barely older than one, and in today’s podcast episode I wonder if that parental act of abuse is any different than drinking alcohol?
