I notice that if I am drinking alcohol, I don't crave sweets and when I am eating sweets I don't have a drink...When my dad gave up drinking he kept bags of chocolate bars in his desk drawer. He smoked and the tobacco in cigarettes is cured with sugar.
My parents generation is chock full of alcoholics and my generation is chock full of eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, and overeaters.
I never overeat healthy food. I eat one serving. Even if I go to a fast food place. I'll have a cheeseburger and fries and then I am satisfied.
If I have a drink with liqueur in it, it's like drinking soda to me.
Some drink for thought!
Had some stresses today, so I ate white bread with butter at dinner. Also when I looked in the pantry to find a snack, I ended up eating popcorn. I don't think it is a trigger. I considered eating some crackers with hummus but when I looked at the boxes, I began to salivate in anticipation. I figured that's a bad sign...

Funny, if I drink alcohol, I want sweets the next day. i also smoke and there is a familial history of alcoholism, substance abuse and depression so my theory it is some biochemical predisposition or vulnerability.
