Oprah Says GLP-1 Medication Ended Her Desire to Drink

She tells People the 2023 prescription reshaped her habits more than any number on the scale.

Overview

  • Winfrey says in a new People interview that since starting a GLP-1 drug she no longer wants alcohol and hasn’t had a drink in years.
  • She reports the medication, begun in 2023, helped her stop obsessing over food and commit to workouts of about two hours six days a week.
  • Declining to share pounds lost, she notes her past peak weight of 237 pounds and says she now feels healthier and liberated from a long public struggle.
  • She recalls earlier heavy drinking, saying she could outdrink others and once took 17 shots in a night, contrasting it with her current lack of desire to drink.
  • Her experience will be detailed in a forthcoming book, Enough: Your Health, Your Weight and What It’s Like to Be Free, co-written with Dr. Ania M. Jastreboff.
