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.

Don’t Drink? You Must Be Gay – Pride, Shame, and the Liquid Lie

Don’t drink?
You must be gay.
That’s what they said—not because they knew, but because they needed to wound.
Because in a world ruled by the Liquid Lie, the fastest way to make you conform is to make you ashamed of who you are.
This episode goes deep into Pride, shame, masculinity, and what it means to survive a culture that punishes difference with a pint. Whether you’re queer or not, if you’ve ever hidden your truth to fit in, this one’s for you.
We talk about South Wales, rugby clubs, toxic masculinity, and the invisible contract boys sign the moment they pick up a drink. And we end with a vow—to stop drinking not to be perfect… but to be free.
