Physical craving

When it's a hot day and one craves a cold drink, the order is this:

desire > consumption > satisfaction [end]

The physical craving with alcohol is different:

consumption > desire > consumption > desire > [repetition until crash]

The phenomenon first arises after the consumption, not before.

It's a physical craving because it was triggered by physical event.

Consumption, rather than satisfying the desire, amplifies it.

This is what produces the runaway-train effect.
