Definitely lowered alcohol consumption for me.

I no longer get that dopamine rush of the first drink.

Some people go as far as describing it as anhedonia. I kinda get it.

Not for me, in fact my diet involed not taking any dessert, which GLP1 made fairly easy, so I ended up allowing myself to drink a couple of glasses of wine in the evening, which I never did before. I never noticed an alteration of the sense of taste, just a general feeling of satiety (particularly on an empty stomach).

Though many people mention feeling sick as a common side effects, I can very well imagine that they would lose any pleasure from food and drink.
