I wonder if people are just losing weight and feeling better about their bodies. So while they are not depressed about their weight, they don’t cope with alcohol or other drugs.
It’s definitely more than that. Some people get a sense of well-being and compare it to an antidepressant or anxiolytic. Some people just lose the craving to drink. It’s cut back on the amount of weed I smoke, I just don’t feel the need as much. This is all independent of body image.
Seems to me it might be releasing you from the grip of addiction. Not to say you were bad off or anything. I think everyone has that demon for some things. Food is a big one, obviously.
well I mean are they drinking less than they used to do, or are they drinking less than the average person? (sorry, I know I could just read the article myself, putting kids to bed)
edit: they’re drinking less than they themselves used to do
There’s also the whole “you get drunk faster on an empty stomach” thing. My partner takes it to balance their insulin, and it has turned them into a complete lightweight. Purely because they’re able to go all day without eating, which means they have an empty stomach when they start drinking.

That’s interesting. I knew it caused appetite suppression, but i didn’t realize it dulls other areas as well.
Yep, I have C-PTSD and I’m being treated, but starting Semaglutide suddenly drained all the power out of my physical anxiety, It’s a bit amazing.

Ozempic shrinks the stomach.
I’m on it and it physically makes me sick when I drink alcohol. I get a bad malaise feeling.

They aren’t not drinking just drinking less. You get really full 1 beer feels like 3 in your stomach.
