Retatrutide's effect on alcohol cravings?

[chmuse]

Thank you. Has the effect been consistent over time? Or did you notice less or more after several weeks on it?

Volume wise it was immediately down like 95%. I just didn't feel like drinking as much. By 2 months in I managed to be sober a solid two weeks, before I ended up drinking emotionally. I'd say I'm still down 90% from the amount I was drinking before sema- if I go out, I have a shot or two or just don't feel like drinking at all. I'm still capable of getting shitty drunk if something gets me all up in my feels, but I pay the price the next day and it puts me off trying again for a while.

Context: my first shot was Oct 1

Wine and beer have lots of calories.. A low calorie drink like a Whisky diet didn't impede my weight loss. Not encouraging drinking, but if you must, go for hard alcohol mixed with diet pop.

I go for vodka and diet sports drinks. Seems to keep my electrolytes more balanced especially doing keto and glp1.

Yes, I, like most obese people, know all about the calories.

I have preferences for certain reasons that have to do with attempts at self-moderation. I tend to guzzle when I drink, so if I'm guzzling liquor I will end up way, way more drunk far quicker than I intend. In fact, if I drink liquor drinks I will end up passed-out drunk and probably close to alcohol poisoning with the world's most debilitating hangover the next day. The volume and feeling of fullness from beer and wine is a safety that slows me down.

I have the exact same issue, years of beer drinking gives me a certain rhythm. It is not suitable for wine or stronger mixed drinks. I mix vodka and diet sports drinks down to about 4.5%. Unsweet tea with diet lemonade is also good. I get full and slow down.
