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.

Onto Our Guest…
Roberta Mussato was born in Treviso, Italy. At eight, she started writing her first journal, a habit she would never give up. After a degree in conference interpreting in English and Russian in 2006, Roberta moved to crazy London, where she still lives.
In 2018 she decided to go backpacking on her own for three months in Asia to escape from a generalised, deep crisis that had seen her feeling stuck and very low for two years. Reasoning that all her pain came from unmet expectations, she decided to experiment for those three months, not plan a single thing to see how life can be when you have no attachments. She talks about how it all went in her first book, "Universe, I Trust You", which came out initially in Italian and then in English and will be shown on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square on June 20th, 2023.
That trip was a watershed in her life, proving that a deep crisis could be the springboard to exciting new chapters. Changing the question from "Why do they always happen to me?" to "What for?" and following her vision in Nepal, she is now a certified Master Life Coach and NLP Practitioner who helps her clients get unstuck and live a more aligned life.

Victoria Vanstone lives on The Sunshine Coast in Australia with three children, a dog and a very patient husband. She is originally from the UK and has been writing about motherhood and her zig zaggy journey to sobriety for two years. Victoria started writing on the exact day she quit drinking alcohol. It became her outlet and distraction from peering in the fridge at cold bottles of wine. She found letting out all of her fuckupery on her blog and in her upcoming book has helped solidify her sobriety and led her to understand herself and her destructive habits.
You can read Victoria’s blog posts at drunkmummysobermummy.com
She also co-hosts the Sober Awkward podcast with her excellent friend Hamish.
And.
She is the founder of the Cuppa Community, which is a sobriety social network.
In this episode, we discuss all things motherhood, pregnancy and alcohol.

Ken Makimsy Middleton is the editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF; Alcohol is NOT Your Friend. It's a publication focused on science-based strategies to help individuals change their relationship with alcohol and create the best version of themselves.
Ken coined the term alcohol-consciousness to represent his belief that one should not have to hit rock bottom or have a "problem" with alcohol to quit drinking. Instead, it's something that people should consider to live a more holistic and healthy lifestyle.
He’s currently in the middle of a book project on the topic titled Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All, and we talk about some of his concepts from that book in this episode.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- Educating children on alcohol
- The role that Hollywood plays in the ubiquitous nature of alcohol
- Perception of value versus reality
- The importance of drinking consciously and quitting consciously.
- Filling the white space
- Exercise
- Diet
- How alcohol plays a role in the mid-life crisis/awakening
- How it’s never too late to quit
