Slightly tangential to GLP-1 and addiction but DanielChem_CHI reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Thanks for sharing this, DanielChem_CHI. A few questions about your GLP-1 and addiction experience:
- What dose are you currently on?
- How long before you noticed significant changes?
- Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about GLP-1 and addic?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on GLP-1 and addiction.
To answer maria_elpaso: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.
Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to GLP-1 and addiction pathways — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 207 → 107 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
