"... the odds are that the alcohol consumption will rapidly ramp up to the original (unwanted) amount.."
Without a BP there is no separation , one is all Beast . When I was simpatico with my Beast I wanted the booze, too. The consequences, on the other hand I didn't want , the Beast coudn't care less , Its only concern was using my AV to convince me that the consequences of wanting and denying myself outweighed the actual consequences of drunkeness. So I just transferred the consequences of wanting and being denied to IT, poor bugger stuck in Beast hell , all want , and no way to satisfy.
And in a strange way It always was in that predicament , try as I may I never really satisfied IT. The difference is I'm out of the hell of being a drunk.
