て form with -たい is wrong right?


On a youtube channel I found such an example: " **暑くてお酒を飲みたい** "
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkFPCNt9ZKo&t=864s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkFPCNt9ZKo&t=864s)

Isn't this wrong?

I mean て form as reason can be used for feelings or for what you can't do, as
explained [here](https://www.learn-japanese-adventure.com/te-form-cause-
reason.html).

But you shouldn't use it for what you want to do (-tai form)

Am I wrong?




I agree that `暑くてお酒を飲みたい` sounds a bit unnatural, but the following is fairly
usual:

  * 暑くてお酒を飲みたいと思ったけど、冷蔵庫を見たら何もなかった
  * It was hot and I wanted to drink alcohol, but there was nothing when I checked the fridge.

Some examples with ...て...たい without being followed by additional phrases:

  * 暑すぎて裸になりたい It is too hot and I want to go totally naked.
  * 恥ずかしくて穴があったら入りたい I'm so ashamed, and want to hide in a pit if there is any.
  * 失恋して死にたい I got my heart broken and want to die.

After thinking and a bit googling about ...て...たい, it is true that such
sentences tend to become unnatural, but it can be ok especially when the
intended meaning is _it is too ... that I want to ..._.
