alcohol and retatrutide

[slick1]

I have the same issue. 2-4 beers and I feel next day as I was drinking hole night.

Try this (it helps me): 1 big glass of water and some electrolytes before sleeping.

The water and electrolyte will definitely help minus having to pee during the night but the Reta does make me feel the next day like I drank 3 times the amount that I actually did. I also noticed that beer does not go down so easy, if I just want to get buzzed, I'll just do a few shots of liquor.

Another thing I noticed is that I thought my fingernails have been growing faster. I thought that was strange until I realized that I no longer chew them! I have since I was a kid, and that stopped with Reta also. This is a wonder drug to me.

same! totally stopped chewing my nails, they're so pretty now.

I was a daily drinker and now maybe once a week and can't have more than 1. Also beer doesn't sit very well and it used to be my favorite. I now have a gin and tonic if I go out, and find that sits fine.

Just a FYI, tonic water is loaded with sugar unless you get the diet stuff.

I can barely get drunk anymore. Body rejects it (I will vomit after 2-3 drinks). used to be a heavy drinker. Im in two minds about how feel about it, while i like it on a summers day with my friends (UK so big drinking culture) and get tipsy, im also glad as i struggled with addiction and binge drinking for 2-4 years..

thanks, I was alarmed to find out how much sugar after drinking them by the bucket last summer, but I figure for 1 drink while out it's not too big a deal. When making my own drinks I either mix it with club soda or half diet tonic. I like almost all diet pops but straight up diet tonic is just gross.

Since you started Reta? I've found it great for reducing inflammation. I was on medication for gout and got a flares a few times a year, but since starting Reta, I'm off the medication and have been clear the whole time. I think studies are only finding the tip of the iceberg regarding all the benefits.

Wow This is an interesting side effect. I have gout as well. Luckily, my flares ups dont always become true flare ups as I will hurry to take Indomethacin when I start feeling it. I am due for some bloodwork and I will make sure to get a Uric acid test done.

Hello

I hadn't drunk alcohol for almost three months. Yesterday, with some friends, I had one beer and two glasses of wine. It made me feel awful. I woke up with a terrible headache, like I had a massive hangover.

I know my liver is processing the release of fatty acids through the glutathione pathway, but it's so bad that I can't even drink a little alcohol.

I'm definitely going to stop drinking, which is exactly what I want, but sometimes, socially, like yesterday, I felt obligated to drink so I wouldn't seem like a weirdo.

Next time, I'll say I'm feeling unwell or I won't go, since going to a pub with my friends, who all drink, and drinking water or Diet Coke is really strange.

Any recommendations for these situations? What do you guys do?

You can do what Chili said just nurse a drink or a “drink” the whole time.

If these are good friends and you’re comfortable around them, you can say you’re on medication and can’t drink. Or that you’re sober now. Maybe even that you’re on a diet?

Never a bad idea to make new friends though, however this experience turns out
