I have had more than one patient tell me that the meds have caused them to not like the taste of alcohol. Less drunks = less brawls.
My husband is on the 4mg Wegovy pill… it surprisingly has NOT lessened his drinking.

What alcohol doesn't taste like crap?

Y’all need to read this article more carefully…
They only say that that link is weaker in current users than in former users. Yes, the hopeful possibility is that the current use of GLP1 is weakening the urge to violence… but the more troubling possibility is that the withdrawal of the GLP1 is raising the urge to violence.
This paper is 100% consistent with a hypothetical story that says ending a GLP1 treatment will increase the former user’s proclivity for violence. Since the authors confusingly did not include the baseline associate for the full population (which is itself suspect), we just have to hope that the violence increase for former users is a jump that returns to baseline rather than a jump that exceeds baseline.

Their main analysis concentrated on 821 people who had used a GLP-1 medication at some point.

Across the full sample, higher levels of impulsivity and greater alcohol use were both strongly linked to violent behavior.
quote:This doesn’t necessarily tell us that GLP1s lower the proclivity for violence. They identify that there is still a strong link between impulsivity and violence for current GLP1 users.
The strongest finding in the study was that the well-established link between impulsivity and violent behavior was substantially weaker among current GLP-1 users compared to former users

I work closely with endocrinologists and they are completely safe.

Completely safe? Hmm, where have we heard that before.
Btw, what happened to all those completely safe folks with paralyzed stomachs from GLP-1s?

The pill is garbage. Stick with injections.

Put it in the Mississippi river like fluoride.

I think that reason could be linked to the same reason Victoria's Secret stores are beginning to see a boom in sales.

He’s dropped about twenty pounds and the pill is only $149.
I considered it.. but there’s no way I’d be able to get my protein in, so I’m losing mine the regular way.

Drucker had read about the work of endocrinologist John Eng, gastroenterologist Jean-Pierre Raufman and biochemist John Pisano, who had sequenced the proteins in Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) venom and found two that looked like human GLP-1.
Drucker and his team from the University of Toronto acquired a Gila monster from the Utah Zoo's breeding program to dissect for further research. This work confirmed that the lizard species' unique genes produce a protein, Exendin-4, that fit the bill, mimicking GLP-1 while hanging round in the human body for far longer.
A synthetic version was created in the years after, but it took until 2005 for this GLP-1 agonist to become an FDA-approved treatment for type 2 diabetes. It's now also become a popular treatment for obesity, with further potential applications on the horizon.
