Can You Drink Alcohol on Ozempic

Linda Girgis | MD

Medically reviewed by Linda Girgis | MD, Girgis Family Medicine on August 20th, 2026.

You can drink alcohol while taking Ozempic, but moderation is essential for safety. Both Ozempic and alcohol can lower blood sugar levels, creating a potentially dangerous compounding effect that increases your risk of severe hypoglycemia. Studies show that even moderate drinking (1-2 drinks) can significantly impact blood glucose control in people taking GLP-1 medications. Additionally, alcohol may worsen common Ozempic side effects like nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. Limit intake to no more than one drink per day for women and two for men, always with food. Monitor your blood sugar more frequently when drinking and consult your healthcare provider about your specific situation.
