Wow, that is really interesting. I don't do any drugs, and drink alcohol only at major holidays, and then it's like one glass of wine, or one gin and tonic. But I have been taking Wegovy since last February, and I lost 25% of my body weight (208 lbs down to 155 pounds) at Thanksgiving by simply not feeling hungry very often. Since hitting this plateau weight, I have craved alcohol, and also high-fat, high-sugar foods-ice-cream, cheese cake, etc., like I never have in my life. The cravings are not overwhelming, just notable because unusual. I have several family members (all dead now, prior generation people) who were alcoholics. I love science, and I will experiment with what I need to do to calm those cravings by other means.
