I'll just add that the Beast of AVRT is actually an autonomous, rational entity, and that in AVRT, the Addictive Voice is viewed as a rational, intelligent expression of a valid biological drive. The Beast simply does what it must to survive.
From the Beast's viewpoint, alcohol or drugs are necessary for survival, and it is because of this that the AV is impervious to reason or disputation. It cannot be reasoned away, because it is perfectly rational for any animal, or Beast, to try and survive.
When people try to debate with their Addictive Voice, they are trying to convince their Beast that it needs to die by deprivation. Since the Beast has no interest whatsoever in dying, it will not be impressed with any arguments.
For the Beast, drinking/using is obviously
very rational.
