I used to have those same thoughts. But it only seemed like it wasn't logical. When addiction enters the picture, you need alcohol, and you need it desperately. That's what causes the cravings. I drank to provide my body with the alcohol it demanded, not with the foremost thought in my mind that I was providing for my body's best interests. It just felt like an overwhelming desire to drink in spite of it's adverse affects. Oh, it was a horrible abuse of my body and mind with morning after complications, but it was a normal response to a body's chemistry that had become broken.

That's the way I look at it in retrospect anyway
