    GLP-1s like ozempic also reduce drinking, which is likely a bigger problem for liquor companies.

      I expect a lot more lobbying coming from big alcohol simply because kids are drinking less. Alcohol is getting more expensive and becoming less cool.

          true. the cost, but its too convenient this happened the same time. interesting, its 200$ for a single prescription for both wegovy and omezpic, so not too expensive, relative to other medication.
