Holy heck, the hangover thing is real
I'd seen the warnings that GLP-1s can worsen the effects of alcohol, but I naively thought I would be fine having one cocktail last night, as my partner and I were celebrating a milestone. I had one small "skinny" margarita with Patron, which I sipped smugly over the course of 2 hours, sure that I had outsmarted the GLP-1 gods.
Well, I was wrong. Very wrong. I woke up during the night with a pounding headache, dry mouth, and restless limbs, and today, I feel legitimately hungover. Like laying on the couch all day hungover. I don't drink much anymore regardless of Wegovy, but this is how I used to feel if I had 5+ drinks in an evening. Ugh.
Lesson learned! Great motivation to just cut out alcohol entirely, I guess. What a humbling and fascinating experience.
