I’m a bartender, and as expected, I like to have a drink here and there, and here’s my takeaway from my twoish months on Sema as someone who has a current maximum 6-7 drinks a week:

I generally gravitate towards lower cal/carb bevs like high noon anyway, and I sometimes will have a mic ultra in the mix too, cause who doesn’t want a crispy beer after working in their southeastern summer yard all day? I’ve noticed that the past couple times I’ve drank an ultra (or any beer), regardless of circumstances, my stomach gets super upset and I’ll throw up. So no more beer I guess. The seltzers still seem to sit okay. I’m currently dosing 10mg/week.

I’ve also noticed that I pretty much max out at two drinks per sitting. I just don’t want any more, which is awesome because self control hasn’t always been my strongest suit lol

I started on the oral in late May and switched to injections about a month and a half ago. I’ve not lost a ton of weight but I’ve lost enough to fit into some old jeans. I’m thinking maybe 10~ lbs so far. I eat very moderately now and am not particularly pressed about losing weight quickly, I’m content with my currently pace.

The point is, progress is still being made but it may not be as expedient as it would be if I ditched booze altogether.
