Can You Drink Alcohol on Foundayo? What People Taking It Say
Ask people taking Foundayo (orforglipron) about alcohol and the answers pull in opposite directions. Some say the evening drink has simply stopped mattering to them. Others say a single glass now leaves them queasy for a couple of days, and a few report that nothing has changed at all.
These accounts come from public forum threads, where people compare notes in the first days and weeks on the tablet. They are personal experiences, not evidence of how often anything happens or why, and Foundayo is licensed for weight management and type 2 diabetes rather than for alcohol use.
What follows is a look at the patterns people describe, in their own words: the habit that faded, the drinks that went wrong, and the people who noticed no difference.
The Evening Drink That Stopped Mattering
A story that recurs in these threads is less dramatic than it sounds. There is no big decision, just a habit that quietly loosens its hold.
"Hand up here for alcohol, or rather, losing the taste for it. It had become a habit to have a drink in the evening as a "Reward" (and that was what my brain was saying - you deserve this). And I haven’t really thought about it since starting. Maybe it’s psychosomatic but even if it is, I’ll take it."

For one person, the change arrived with unusual clarity because alcohol was the reason they had tried a GLP-1 medicine in the first place.
"One of the main reasons I decided to try a glp-1 is because I have been trying to quit alcohol and nothing has worked. I started foundayo one week ago and I haven’t wanted a drop of alcohol since day one!"

Others stumble on it by accident, noticing only when the usual routine fails to happen.
"Another thing I noticed is a lessened desire for alcohol. Is that normal? Typically, I’d have a cocktail in the evening. Usually a martini. But I actually forgot and then I just had a glass of wine with my meal. It’s so interesting."

Less of It, or Not the Same Taste
Between a drink forgotten and a drink given up sits a quieter group, whose accounts are about quantity and flavour rather than desire alone. Taste comes up in several accounts, sometimes tied by the writer to a move up a dose.
"I’ve also noticed an interesting effect on the 2.5 dose - I lost interest in alcohol 😁. Before, I’d have half a glass of wine on the weekends. Now I can’t even finish it - the taste just doesn’t appeal to me anymore 😂."

The shift can also be counted in drinks per day, which makes it feel more concrete.
"I am a drinker, and I will tell you I have cut down significantly. From drinking 3 drinks a day down to 1 has been amazing."
– Pretty_Confidence377
Not everyone welcomes the change. One person, a few days into their first bottle, noticed their consumption slipping and admitted to mixed feelings about it.
"Certainly seems to be reducing my alcohol consumption…sadly I enjoy an evening martini before dinner."

The Night It Went Wrong
A different set of accounts begins with the drink itself rather than the wish for one. Several people describe the same surprise: an amount they used to manage without thinking now leaves them feeling unwell.
"Closing out my first week, and I felt miserable nauseous after 2 drinks. I don't remember the last time I stopped at two."
– winosaur0509
The aftermath can outlast the evening. One person, still on the lowest dose after five weeks, tried a drink for the first time on the medicine and was still feeling it two days later.
"I started Foundayo 38 days ago. Still on .8mg and drank for first time while on it on Saturday. It’s Monday night and I still feel queasy with upset stomach."
– Miserable-Author-706
For others the experience works less as a one-off than as a brake. The memory of a rough morning does the persuading, and drinking becomes an occasional choice rather than a routine.
"I'm doing pretty well so far, when I do drink- it's not as much and the next day's gastrointestinal issues make me think twice about the next time I do imbibe."

Nothing Much Changes
It would be a mistake to read the threads as one-directional. Alongside the people who describe losing interest are those who looked for a change in their drinking and did not find one.
"Third say on 2.5. No weight loss at all but eating less and smaller meals. No change in alcohol desire."
– loveshoes1
Another account, three weeks in, was filed under a disappointing week, with a holiday weekend named as the culprit.
"A disappointing week to be sure. I def overdid it on the food and alcohol for the holiday weekend […]"
– SkyEfficient7358
"Alcohol Noise"
A few people reach for the same phrase when they describe what happened. "Food noise", the constant mental chatter about eating that many say these medicines quieten, has a counterpart in "alcohol noise", and the two are often mentioned in the same breath.
"Food noise is down, alcohol noise is down […]"
– SaintSexburga
In one account the quiet was wider still, extending to late-night online shopping and the sort of impulse that used to go unquestioned.
"Also noticed reduced impulse behavior - no desire/joy in late night social media-based shopping. No urge to drink alcohol."

What Does Medino's Pharmacist Think?
"What stands out in these accounts is how personal the response is. Some people describe the wish for a drink simply fading, others describe a glass that now sits badly, and others notice no change at all. It is a reminder that people can respond very differently to the same medicine, and to alcohol, and that these threads are one person's experience set beside another's."
– Alessandro Grenci, Pharmacist at Medino
Three Directions, One Question
Read together, the threads do not settle the question people keep asking. They describe a handful of separate stories: a habit that faded, a drink that went wrong, and a week that carried on as before.
What they share is the attention people pay once a new medicine is part of the routine, noticing the glass, the hour and the morning after, and comparing it with what a stranger online has written.
