I can't drink whatsoever now. I've been on Wegovy for ~4 months. I used to be a VERY light drinker, i.e. like 10 drinks per YEAR (rum and diet coke, glass of wine, or 2-3 beers in a night). I would usually get a drink when my band played. A month or so ago, I got a bourbon, which I'll happily sip for an hour while talking, and I had to force it down, and left over half of it. Same with a beer; I went to a baseball game with some friends, someone bought the group some drinks, and it was disgusting.

It was like whatever enjoyment lightbulb that is usually activated was completely unscrewed, or like trying it for the first time as a kid when an adult lets you try a sip on a holiday. Just sitting here typing and thinking about it has me slightly nauseated. I've been telling people recently I CAN'T drink because of some new medicine I've started.

When I took Adderall in college a few times I had a very similar feeling. You could have told me my favorite restaurant was giving away my favorite food, and it would have been nauseating while I was on the meds.

Same with Naltrexone

Well, that one is used for alcohol abuse disorders.
