A recent study suggests GLP-1 drugs may weaken links between impulsivity, alcohol use, and violence.

Damn. I was trying to remember if there was a Simpsons episode where Krusty the Klown went on a murder spree trying to get doughnuts. I can see how GLP-1 drugs could help with that.

I take them for diabetes and it also helps with drug addiction. It's like you develop more self control in every area, not just food.

Is there anything glp-1s can't do?

The above article is a few years old so there is more up-to-date info around about side effects.
