Being drunk feels mostly the same for me. I enjoy it more on Reta, perhaps because I’m going at a slower pace than before, but still getting the social and ‘good feelz’ benefits from alcohol.Tattoo85 said:Has anyone here who normally enjoys being drunk actually been drunk while on reta? I understand the lack of desire to actually drink, but how does it feel when you are drinking a substantial amount?
I've lost interest in going out getting drunk over the last year or so, but not because of reta, I've only been on it for 2 weeks. I just got tired of it and I'm more focused on my goals than caring about getting drunk. Saying that, there are a couple occasions coming up in the next couple months where I'm basically scheduling a break to go out drinking with friends. I'm wondering if it's still going to be the same fun, enjoyable feeling once I'm drunk as it normally is. One of the occasions is my bachelor party, so I'm definitely going to be getting drinks bought for me lol.

It's the sugar and carbs that give people the hangovers, if you are a mixed drink or wine drinker they are way worse on all glpsPepDino said:Fortunately, I haven’t experienced the worsened hangovers everyone talks about. I typically hydrate a lot when I drink, so maybe it’s more to do with the that.
That makes sense. I drink either beer or Bourbon on the rocks with nothing added. Can’t do sugary drinks.TooGood76 said:It's the sugar and carbs that give people the hangovers, if you are a mixed drink or wine drinker they are way worse on all glps

this. i never get hangovers, but i noticed if i drink beer now, i wake up with a headache. If i drink spirits straight or with soda water, i dont get a headacheTooGood76 said:It's the sugar and carbs that give people the hangovers, if you are a mixed drink or wine drinker they are way worse on all glps

You can still get a hangover from just the alcohol effects but the sugar makes it way worse. Wine hangovers have always been notorious for this reason.drswole said:this. i never get hangovers, but i noticed if i drink beer now, i wake up with a headache.

Omxxl said:On top of that, these drugs slow gastric emptying significantly, which changes how alcohol is absorbed. Normally alcohol absorption depends on how fast it reaches the small intestine, and when the stomach empties slowly, the absorption becomes slower and more erratic. The rapid onset that makes drinking feel rewarding is essentially gone.

I came here to say this! I was drinking mostly beer prior to starting Tirz in October, followed by Reta in January. I was probably drinking 70+ units a week for YEARS. I don't think I have been drunk in the sense I used to since I started these meds.Tattoo85 said:Has anyone here who normally enjoys being drunk actually been drunk while on reta?

Beer in particular has been almost impossible. I used to be able to put down 5-10 light beers relatively "easily" and post-Reta I can barely have one. I had 2 a week ago and felt full/bloated for basically 24 hours. Not sure if it's the carbonation or what.Imfrijole said:I just get fuller faster. I was at a bar the other day and my god it took me an hour to drink 1.5 beers. I still drink though and I do not get buzzed faster like others are saying.


I’m on week 2 and I still enjoy a few beers once a week. I do drink less of them though. I just haven’t found that Reta suppressed my want to drink much. Maybe it takes time?Chili777 said:I've had two beers in 8 months on Reta, and each of those took an hour to drink. This is after having been a hard drinker for over 20 years. It wasn't even anything that I was aware of, or consciously trying to do, but I have lost all desire for alcohol. People can drink in front of me, or try to twist my arm, and they are no longer triggers for me. I'm just not interested anymore. I'll always have some around for this effect alone, because I like that alcohol, or the absence of it, isn't a driving force in my life any longer.

Probably being only 2 weeks in.Mushasha said:I’m on week 2 and I still enjoy a few beers once a week. I do drink less of them though. I just haven’t found that Reta suppressed my want to drink much. Maybe it takes time?


我仍然会和朋友出去喝酒,现在改喝百加得朗姆酒加健怡可乐,因为这样更容易下咽。我现在喝啤酒的样子肯定像个酒鬼,所以考虑到没人知道我服用兴奋剂,改喝啤酒是必要的。IMT11 said:Beer in particular has been almost impossible.
