Taking Ozempic or Wegovy? Yale researchers just dropped a bombshell: two glasses of wine now hit like four, your BAC climbs higher and stays there longer, and you might not even feel it coming. And here’s the wild part: doctors say this same effect could accidentally be the most powerful tool we’ve ever had against alcohol addiction.
The blockbuster anti-obesity drugs known as GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, are revealing surprising new changes that go beyond the scale.
Emerging research from researchers at Yale University shows these drugs don’t just curb appetite for food; many patients report a dramatic drop in the desire to drink alcohol. Some cut their intake by half or more, while others stop altogether without feeling deprived. Clinical trials are now underway to test higher-dose versions specifically as a treatment for alcohol use disorder.
