I would say the Beast 'feels' none of the things you mentioned. Only You have those feelings , the Beast uses the feelings via the AV to suggest a solution/remedy.
The Beast's feelings are binary either the desire is indulged or isn't.
Experiencing any and all range of feelings is human nature. The Beast's nature is a drive for more booze , nothing else. Even the feelings of missing, romanticizing booze are yours, the idea that making those feelings feel 'better' by consuming more booze is AV, yeah ?
I miss the taste and feel of a good two fingers of bourbon, doesn't mean I will ever drink it again.
