(too late to edit but I forgot to include)

A couple years before starting Zepbound I had tried a prescription for naltrexone for 3 or 4 months to reduce drinking which had pretty much zero effect for me. Naltrexone apparently helps for some people and has a similar theorized mechanism acting on reward/pleasure but didn't do anything to break that habit of pouring a drink within the first hour I was back home.

I might have drank slightly less as it was slightly less enjoyable but did nothing for the habitual element which for me was much more problematic than how the alcohol made me "feel" subjectively or the exact number of drinks I had per night.
