Logically, why should we ever drink in the first place, when we know we have no control over our it. Why don't we put down the glass as soon as the problem presents itself?

There is nothing logical about alcoholism. I think that we use these images and tools because they make some kind of sense to our warped minds. It may not be scientifically true that there is a separate voice in our heads telling us to drink, but it sure FEELS that way! Even Sigmund Freud acknowledged the AV, except he called it the "Id".

Oh that we were all like Spock..."That is not logical!"
