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.

Your alarm screams. Your body says no.
Welcome to Monday: the most collectively despised day of the week—and for millions, a weekly hangover we pretend doesn’t exist.

✅ Why so many people hate Mondays—and what alcohol has to do with it
✅ How your job dissatisfaction might be fuelled by the Liquid Lie
✅ What it really means to live for the weekend (and die a little inside by Monday)
