A newer diabetes and weight loss drug can cut the attraction to alcohol.

The drug is available today.

I find the drug free method to reduce alcohol consumption very effective. Avoid the news and leftists of all sorts and you won’t be driven to drink. It’s also helpful not having a crazy wife.

Why not just reduce the number of times you go to the bar or the number of bottles you buy at the liquor store by half?

Can't help but wonder what the down side is going to be.

With the way they are promoting it I get the impression it is going to be a doozy.

Maybe it makes you vote democrat!

Not as easy as popping a pill. But it does work. I keep it in the cabinets and in the fridge. But I quit. I still desire it.

I’m sure it’s “safe and effective”.

If you want to drink, you will. If you don’t, you won’t. For normal drinkers, the drug may work, but not for addicts.

” For normal drinkers, the drug may work, but not for addicts.”

It worked for addicted mice.

“I’m sure it’s “safe and effective”.”

I bet it’s healthy also. It rhymes with Olympic.

It comes in four flavors: Summer Strawberry Ozempic, Winter watermelon Ozempic, Spring Starfruit Ozempic and last Fall Fuji Ozempic. Ozempics all year long.

Probably no small part of how people lose weight.

I know a guy who used a related drug after a divorce, along with testosterone replacement and serious weight training and walking.

He lost 80lbs in a year. Looks great.

Says he lost 280lbs of dead weight from the divorce.

I know his wife, too. I agree.

Three beers is 900 calories.

You don’t have to be a drunk to get fat from drinking.

You just have to be bored.

Clearly you have never been a drinker.

Its easier said than done.

I realized that I needed to stop drinking at age 30. But didn’t stop until age 40. Went on the wagon many times.

I had to change cities, lose my drinking buddies and find Jesus in order to stop drinking. All hard but necessary things for me to do.

Totally agree. The problem goes away if you just stop drinking. You can also lose a lot of weight if you just eat less and avoid sugar and refined carbs. No problem. Right?
