Alcohol and mountjaro?

Probably terrible timing but I’m going to a vineyard on Sunday for my husband’s birthday. We are booked in for wine tasting and lunch.

I started mountjaro on Tuesday and so far feeling fine with no side effects / or even really any effect yet (still hungry as normal).What’s likely to happen with the wine tasting - should I try and take it very easy? Or given it hasn’t really settled in yet and I can see from shotsy it decline by the day, is it likely to be ok and I can do the wine tasting?

You can still drink on it, you just might not fancy the wine like usual.

No one can guess, I can drink fine when the opportunity presents itself, but I don’t have any real urge for it, others can’t stomach it.

I drank as normal on mounjaro (no T). It didn’t have any ill effects whatsoever.

I’m very much enjoying the responses so far!

im hoping that if the jab has made you nauseous, vomity or bad stomach that’s when alcohol will be worse but as I’ve had no side effects hoping it will be ok!

I’ve been on MJ since Oct 24. It’s never curbed my ability to enjoy wine, but has with food to an extent!! My tip is do eat as well as have the wine and start with a large glass of water.

You'll most likely be fine OP, as others have said.

Obviously the alcohol calories do still count.

I've been able to drink without issue on MJ.

I wish I had the same side effect as some people that made them not want to drink alcohol but alas, my drinking habits have just stayed the same. Just have to factor in the calories.

notatinydancer · 02/04/2026 14:18

Still drink , but can’t eat as much so bear that in mind if you need food to stop getting pissed.

mountainpie · 02/04/2026 14:26

I’m sure you’ll be fine just tasting. I definitely couldn’t drink much when I was adjusting to it, but could still have a glass. It was when I tried to have a few drinks in one evening I was swiftly punished!

bugalugs45 · 02/04/2026 14:30

I’ve never had an issue drinking wine on MJ, but as others have said deffo don’t fancy it as often

RockChik · 02/04/2026 20:28

If you’re not having any effects yet I wouldn’t worry about it. When I first started MJ I didn’t fancy as much alcohol as before, but that soon wore off and I now drink as much as before, unfortunately!

TulipsDaffsAndSunshine · 03/04/2026 10:42

Try to time your dose as far away from the vineyard as you can. Jab the next day, afterwards.

I’d take it easy personally. MJ has very much put me off booze. But I can have a couple of glasses now and then.

Sloelydoesit · 03/04/2026 22:38

Drinking wine will be fine. However, for me it just doesn't hit the same anymore. No longer get that dopamine hit from it!

But it hasn't stopped me! I tend to have a g&t these days when I fancy a drink
