Is semaglutide to sugar what naltrexone is to opiates?

  Hmmm I think it goes much further since semaglutide is showing promise and helping those with alcohol addiction.

    Is alcohol dependencies all that different, chemically? Alcohol metabolises to sugar pretty damn well (at least till your liver gives up)

      Completely different. Alcohol works on the GABA receptors, just like common sleeping/anxiety/panic pills, the benzodiazepines and benzo-like medication/drugs. Both alcohol and benzo withdrawal is a nightmare and severe alcohol withdrawal is usually managed with benzos.
