title: No thanks, I'm good. Any more and I'll be sick: comment on Lynch and Carroll (2001).
abstract: W. J. Lynch and M. E. Carroll's (2001) excellent analyses of drug intake from a regulation perspective are formalized in terms of control systems. Satiation corresponds to the set point, deviations below which are called hunger or craving, deviations above which are called surfeit. Although simple, the model provides a unifying framework for many of the phenomena Lynch and Carroll describe.
