Ye Renhao said that semaglutide (Zhou Xianda), which is used to treat diabetes and obesity, has also been used to study whether it can reduce alcohol consumption in recent years. A 2025 randomized trial in JAMA Psychiatry assigned 48 adults with an alcohol use disorder who were not actively seeking alcohol treatment to receive either semaglutide or placebo once a week for nine weeks. The so-called alcohol use disorder refers to drinking that has caused problems or is difficult to control. It is not just a few drinks at occasional dinners. The results showed that the medication group drank less in the laboratory drinking test, and their daily desire to drink also decreased; on days when they drank, they drank less. However, the number of drinking days and average daily alcohol consumption did not significantly improve.
Ye Renhao reminded that the Mid-Autumn Festival table should not be used as a caloric test. Prepare sugar-free tea and sparkling water, so that wine is not the only option, but a very practical step. If you are undergoing weight loss treatment, you may also want to share your drinking habits with your health care team.
