I think we are definitely capable of "reasonable" thoughts even as alcoholics. Maybe we see a commercial on TV for a new drink. "That looks delicious, I'd love to try one" says the non-alcoholic. "That looks delicious, I'd love to try one" says the alcoholic. And it probably DOES look delicious, that's what commercials are created to do. The difference is in our expectations vs reality. The non alcoholic does try ONE, only expects to have one, and in fact sticks to the one drink. The alcoholic does try ONE, only expects to have one, and winds up having 20. Maybe that initial thought came from the same place. But as you said Non, our AV takes advantage of just how tasty that drink looks, and runs with it.
