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 the Drive Home Is the Most Dangerous Part of Your Drinking Day
You finish work.
Not a bad day.
Not a great day.
Just a day.
This episode explores why the journey home can quietly become the highest-risk moment of the day for drinking — even when nothing has gone wrong.
It looks at what actually happens in your body when work ends but your nervous system hasn’t landed yet, and why alcohol starts to feel less like a choice and more like relief.
- Why the drive home creates a hidden gap between work and family life
- How effort and self-control quietly collapse at the end of the day
- Why “I deserve this” is about ending effort, not reward
- How alcohol becomes associated with switching the day off
- Why this moment keeps repeating at the same time, in the same way
If the work-to-home transition is where things often start to slip, there are resources designed specifically around that moment — not to fix you, but to reduce how often it takes over.
