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.

Why My First Pint Meant More Than the Beer

A pint. A photograph. A father’s approval.
What if your first drink wasn’t about the alcohol at all—but about being seen?
In this powerful episode, I reflect on a single, blurry photo from my childhood. I was 14, holding a pint, trying to become a man. But what I really wanted was my dad’s love.
This story isn’t just mine. It’s a quiet legacy passed down from father to son, mother to daughter—wrapped in lager, silence, and the Liquid Lie.
You’ll see how one pint became a shortcut to manhood, how alcohol stood in for connection, and how we can lead our kids differently.
If you’ve ever wondered where your drinking story really began… this episode is for you.
