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.

Football, BrewDog & the Boy Who Just Wanted to Belong

BrewDog just inked a deal with West Ham United.
To most, it’s just marketing.
To me? It’s a megaphone for the Liquid Lie.
In this episode, I take you back to my boyhood in Manchester—pies, Bovril, and the first time I swore at a match. But beneath those memories was something deeper: a craving to belong.
The pint wasn’t about taste.
It was about validation.
It said: “You’re one of us.”
Football is supposed to unite us—but for many boys, it teaches that manhood is earned through alcohol. That to be part of the tribe, you must drink like one of the lads.
We’re not just talking beer and goals—we’re talking identity.
And it’s time we rewrote the script.
🎧 Listen in to explore:
– The emotional grooming hidden in football culture
– Why brands like BrewDog keep tying booze to masculinity
– How to reclaim your worth without pouring a pint
STRIVERS, it’s time to break the chain.
