Arrr, me hearties! The plague o' COVID be causin' a ruckus, makin’ landlubbers drink like fish! With work and school tossed overboard, it seems the grog flows more freely than a pirate’s tales at the tavern! Cheers to the fine times, even if they be a bit tipsy!

Arrr mateys! Gather ‘round fer a wild tale of a swashbucklin’ matey who, after a night of grog, crashed his ship – eh, car – right into his own hull, I mean house, in the sunny Caribbean! Luckily, both he and his abode be none the worse for wear. But lo! Turns out, our hearty friend was wrestlin’ with a beast known as Alcohol Use Disorder, which set him on a course with naltrexone, a potion that be curbin’ his thirst for rum.

As time sailed on, our matey felt better and drank less, livin' his last years in relative peace, but I can’t help but ponder if he could’ve fared even better, fer that naltrexone gave him the heaves and didn’t always do the trick. Now, whisperings of a new remedy, semaglutide – known to landlubbers as Ozempic or Wegovy – be makin’ waves in the medical seas. A grand study from afar be showin’ that those with Alcohol Use Disorder takin’ this magic potion be less likely to find themselves in the brig – I mean, the hospital!

But beware, me hearties! While these potions be wondrous, ye can’t just pop a pill and expect the storm to calm. To truly chart a course to wellness, we must reckon with why we be drinkin’ so much in the first place, especially post-pandemic. So hoist yer sails and let’s make a hearty effort to steer clear of the bottle, lest we be in for another rough voyage!
