As the public rejoice at shedding weight, the likes of Wegovy seem to be controlling other bad habits – in particular drinking to excess
‘My alcohol intake has plummeted,” says Hannah. “Since taking Wegovy I hardly ever crave a drink when I get home. When I used to go out with friends, I was nearly always the last one standing; now I’m leaving two hours before closing.”
In her early 30s, the Londoner is among the rapidly growing number of people turning to weight loss injections such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. The results have been dramatic – she has shed four stone (25kg) in little over six months.

Is there room for a more exploratory – rather than confrontational – dialogue?
The question I grew up as the scapegoat in a toxic family where my mother played her children off against each other. I went no-contact with her a few years ago and keep my interactions with my siblings to a minimum.
I am now the divorced mother of four young adults, all living away from home. I have a male relative who, with his partner, has become close to two of my children. Initially I welcomed this, but it has increasingly come at some cost to me. The relative has been expressing astonishment that a person who is such a mess (me, apparently) could have brought up such wonderful children. By doing that, they are trying to cause a rift between myself and the children. They have also become very friendly with my ex-husband, despite the latter never being interested in cultivating any sort of relationship with them until I ended the marriage.

Striking image will be unveiled at National Portrait Gallery in March, as part of a major exhibition of the Norwegian master’s portraits
At first glance, it is a striking portrait by Edvard Munch, painted in 1892, a year before the Norwegian master was to create his most famous masterpiece, The Scream.
But peer closely at the man’s sleeve along the bottom edge and two embracing, ethereal figures in a mysterious moonlit landscape are revealed.

California’s wines are expensive, but choose carefully and you can still find a bottle that packs a real flavour punch
The Path Chardonnay, California, USA 2022 (from £10.99, brayvalleywines.co.uk; kwoff.co.uk; darcywine.co.uk) The last time I wrote about wine from the United States after a certain person won a certain election back in November, I complained about the lack of decent quality wines available from the country at prices under £20. A couple of weeks before said reality star/criminal took up residence in The White House TV room for another four years earlier this week, I attended a tasting of about 140 wines from California hosted by The California Wine Institute and UK trade magazine The Wine Merchant – a tasting that confirmed that the US does indeed have a higher average starting point for interesting wine, but that it nonetheless can offer good value in that £10 to £20 bracket if you look hard enough. The Path Chardonnay is a case in point, a sunny, ample, peachy fruit-filled, but fresh and balanced example of a white grape variety that is one of California’s biggest strengths.
Haarmeyer Zinfandel, Lodi, California, USA 2022 (£19, allywines.com) For properly thrilling chardonnay that matches the best of the variety’s homeland in Burgundy or other modern classic chardonnay regions such as Victoria in Australia, there is something of a premium to pay – but no more (considerably less in fact) than you would expect if you were upgrading from a simple, regional Burgundy (labelled Bourgogne blanc) to a swanky Meursault or Montrachet. Certainly, in the context of the world’s very best chardonnays, you could build a case for saying the savoury, chiselled, luminously bright and energetic Arnot-Roberts Watson Ranch Chardonnay, Napa Valley 2022 is good value for its £48.50 price tag at robersonwine.com. The grape variety that I think generally offers the best dollar-for-dollar value in California, however, is the state’s very own zinfandel, which can come in a wide variety of winemaking styles including Haarmeyer’s light and juicy red, which has something of Beaujolais in its light-and-juicy feel and the easy, chillable drinkability of its tangy red berry flavours.
