Alcohol relationship change with food noise: I used to drink cocktails most nights. Since starting GLP-1 therapy, I have zero interest in alcohol. Haven't had a drink in 11 months.

The "food noise" reduction seems to extend to other reward-seeking behaviors, including alcohol. My liver enzymes have improved, my sleep is better, and I've saved roughly $153/month on alcohol. Triple win.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.
