I think that sometimes too, but then i remember that I cannot drink responsibly. I will always return to destructive drinking. It might not be fair and I might not like it, but it is my fate and either I accept it and make the best of it or drink and ruin my life. There aren't any other options.
I also try and remind myself that I can do anyhing now that I am sober, and most things better. In fact, there are more things I can do sober.
