like I said before. That is down regulation of dopamine receptors and it will come back with time and care. The addiction rate for heroin (schedule 1 substance) and methamphetamine (schedule 2 substance) are higher than alcohol, but physically, heavy alcoholics will have the chance to ruin their organs.(if they're not already ruined to begin with) When you mean "way less", did you forget how many alcohol related deaths are here? Did you forget that Alcoholics Anonymous ius everywhere? Have you ever heard of State Dependent Learning? Beer commercials are pretty clever with their advertising too. Let's say alcohol and meth were being used heavily by two individuals for several years. The amount of damages done to them would be almost devastating equally.
In spite of Heroin being a Schedule I substance, as long as proper care, sanitation, hydration, and good diet is taken care of, a person could live the rest of his life as a heroin addict, and no Heroin does not cause "brain damage", unless it's cut or theparaphernalia being used is contaminated.
You just pretty much answered your own question right there. That's not a psychological craving? Also when you say that alcohol doesn't have a crash. Is saying that alcohol doesn't give you a hangover. Alcohol runs the same risk as benzodiazepines abuse. Even have the same deadly withdrawal symptoms.
Once again, if you have never had any experience with drugs(or even alcohol for that matter), please do not blatantly speculate and do a bit of research and read some experience reports. Read up on a drug's basic pharmacology,.

"after they get drunk that gives them stronger cravings for some more alcohol"
