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.

The Morning After Isn’t Clarity: When Hangovers Become Routine
“Pass me the bucket.”
Not regret.
Not vows.
Not reflection.
Just routine
This episode explores the version of drinking that isn’t dramatic — it’s normalised. The kind where vomiting, shaking, losing days, and missing family time isn’t a wake-up call… it’s just part of the deal.
Inside this episode:
• Why the hangover stops feeling like a warning
• How poisoning yourself becomes culturally celebrated
• The difference between regret and resignation
• The quiet cost your kids absorb
• What happens when the sickness finally stops
There’s a stage where you don’t even flinch at the damage.
You expect it.
You plan around it.
You joke about it.
And that’s the problem.
Pause for a second:
When was the last time alcohol made you violently ill?
Did you treat it like a warning — or a story?
This isn’t about shame.
It’s about waking up from something that was sold to you as normal.
If this felt familiar, the deeper work lives at The STRIVE Method.
No urgency.
Just somewhere to put the moment down.
If this episode resonated, please rate the show on Spotify or Apple. It helps this reach the people who quietly know this isn’t clarity — it’s repetition.
