I think it is most helpful to view it as a type of allergy where the suffer has an abnormal reaction to alcohol. Craving is part of the allergy, as is the blindness to the damage the drinker causes. There isn't some sort of "histamine blocker " that will make an alcoholic normal, nor does pure reason work to control it. It's not only a physical illness but a mental one as well.
