Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic May Curb Alcohol Consumption
A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are GLP-1 medications, may help reduce alcohol consumption. The study surveyed around 14,000 WeightWatchers members, with 45% of those who drank alcohol reporting reduced consumption after starting these medications. This aligns with previous findings that GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic, could aid in curbing addictions. While the study indicates a potential link, further research is needed to establish a causal relationship between GLP-1 drugs and reduced addictive behaviors.
