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.

Feeling confident as someone that doesn't drink alcohol, Striver Kim volunteers to serve behind the bar at a race meet for a voluntary organisation. During her work, she becomes triggered, and although she didn't drink, later in the week, she did. In this week's episode, we break down Kim's trigger, evaluating where her perceived value lay, whether that value exists, and much more. Thanks to Kim for her courage and bravery is allowing us to share this trigger with you.
