Diet and exercise are pretty cheap compared to destroying your body by drinking ethanol and taking pills.

Or one could just stop drinking.

After 50 years of drinking, I stopped. I haven't had any alcohol for well over a year. Sometimes I miss it, but not enough to start drinking again.

Getting a job usually cuts it in half as well.

They are injecting, but for weight loss. There are tons of people being put on it like chewing gum.

The mice don’t have free will to grab a drink whenever they want.

Oh, I know, I think I posted the first FR article on it. I'm surprised so many people are willing to inject themselves.

I don't think it's a good weight loss drug, though. But it may be a miracle drug as far as broad-based addiction.

In the last couple of weeks its been an off label weight loss drug and now it stops diabetics from drinking so much.

Geez, is there anything Ozempic can’t do?
Oh, right, cost less than $800 a month.

They did.
