We did this. After we confirmed that semaglutide and similar glucagon-like-peptides reduce appetite for food and alcohol, we started prescribing them wantonly. When evidence emerged that they also reduced risk-taking behaviour like gambling, calls arose to simply introduce these chemicals into the water supply. There was a minor hiccup when it was discovered in clinical trials that one-in-a-thousand recipients could have an allergic reaction resulting in an opposite effect—vile and excessive appetites rendering the victim almost subhuman—but the addition of a simple methyl group fixed all that.

Looking back, there’s a good case to be made that the tendency for moderation induced by the universal administration of Ozempic-gamma saved the human race from extinction. But dammit, there hasn’t been a good movie made in twenty years, now.
