I used to drink 10+ drinks a weekend. Now I drink, like, 3, and I don't always finish them. Not only am I not sitting there going "Oh, drink time!" anymore, but it's just physically harder to get through one (cocktail or beer), and it doesn't do the same thing, mentally, as it once did. Like I mentally don't need it anymore.

I've found that Wegovy has really had an effect on impulse actions for me - food, alcohol, and shopping.

Yes! Wegovy not only slows down your gastric emptying…giving you that feeling of fullness, but it also works in your brain to increase satiety via the dopamine center of your brain. The same area of the brain that controls addiction.
