The dose-response is real but shallow at the top.

I will push back on the "any working dose is fine" framing. The maintenance evidence sits overwhelmingly at the top studied dose, and the extension data shows regain tracking dose reduction rather than tracking stopping. Holding low is reasonable; pretending it is evidentially equivalent is not.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Worth knowing that the injection site changes very little. Abdomen, thigh and upper arm are bioequivalent for semaglutide, so a site change is not a plausible explanation for a bad week.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Reduced interest in alcohol is one of the most consistently reported off-target effects, and the mechanism is plausibly the same reward-salience pathway that quiets food noise. The practical part people get wrong is that tolerance changes: less food in the stomach, faster gastric emptying of liquid relative to solids, and a smaller body mean the same two drinks land considerably harder than they used to.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

Whether the change in tolerance is the smaller stomach, the smaller body, or something central, and whether it settles?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Six weeks on from posting: I stopped reading the weekly number and started reading a four-week average, and the "stall" I opened this thread about was a 1.8kg loss I could not see.
