@parrot.pal: A 2025 clinical trial found that semaglutide, the drug in Ozempic and Wegovy, reduced alcohol cravings and heavy drinking days. Here’s the strange part: our food diaries had already noticed. Users on these drugs are about a quarter less likely to log any alcohol than people of the same age and sex who aren’t on them, and nobody told them to cut down. A lab found the mechanism in a small nine-week trial. Diaries show the behaviour in thousands. We can’t tell you why it happens. We can tell you how many. Study: JAMA Psychiatry, 2025.
