Can confirm! Started Rybelsus (pill form of Ozempic/semaglutide) early last year. Within a month I quit cold turkey on whiskey and other hard liquors at home. Wish I could say the same for wine, but just cutting out the whiskey I was drinking was huge. I'm down ~50lbs since then.
Just stopped having the cravings for whiskey (and I forgot beer too) at home. I still partake in an old fashioned or a pint of beer when I'm out for dinner and drinks. But for me at home the whiskey was a different "addiction" than wine. I really do wish I could drop the wine, but it just feels different than the whiskey and beer did.
I’ve been on Zepbound since January and my craving/desire for any alcohol basically is gone. I have gone periods without drinking before while trying to lose weight but I always felt like I was missing out because I was only not drinking to help lose weight, I would avoid some social gatherings just because it wasn’t fun to be there and not “socialize”. Now I just don’t want to and I don’t care about saying no thanks or even think about it. And if I do have a drink it’s usually literally just a drink and even then I might not even finish it.
