GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic may reduce drunkenness by slowing alcohol absorption, early study finds.
A pilot study by Virginia Tech researchers suggests that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may help reduce alcohol consumption by slowing alcohol absorption, leading to reduced intoxication.
Participants taking semaglutide, tirzepatide, or liraglutide showed slower increases in breath alcohol levels and reported feeling less drunk after consuming a standard drink, despite similar alcohol intake.
The effect is likely due to the drugs’ ability to delay gastric emptying.
The findings, based on 20 adults with obesity, support earlier anecdotal reports and point to a potential new physical mechanism for reducing alcohol use, though larger trials are needed.
