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.

This morning, I woke at 4.45 am to climb to the peak of Seongsan Ilchulbong in Jeju, South Korea. I carried my daughter on my back, up and down. The goal was to do it without killing her. Her heart’s still beating. It felt great to stand at the summit; like King Kong at the top of the Empire State Building, dragonflies flying around my head like jet planes. Let’s not forget the night before. The preparation, the anxiety, the tension. Let’s not forget each step along the way. The cumulative effects of the actions we take en route to our goal are what define us. Don’t overlook the value of ‘process’ because without it we are less likely to reach the summit. Strive.
