Effects of GLP-1 Medications on Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol consumption can lead to adverse effects when taken alongside GLP-1 medications. The speaker, who experienced unpleasant side effects after drinking while on these drugs, notes that alcohol can irritate the stomach lining more than usual due to slowed gastric emptying from GLP-1s.
