Hi, JeffreyAK, its great that you have no desire to drink, neither do I. You've mentioned that you have your own website and forum. So I'll try to elaborate so that you can offer some alternatives to your readers.
In AVRT the Beast refers to the lower brain (sub-conscious desire to drink to feel better) and it's Addictive Voice (through which it transmits the desire to drink into the higher, conscious brain, via thoughts, emotions, imagery).
The Beast is the brain function we're all equipped with, pleasure/reward/feedback loop. The Beast is definately NOT the devil, just a normal function. Also, it isn't a permanent affliction. Once it's identified and separated from, it has no power whatsover, zero, zilch, nada.
