Metaphorically my worst day sober is definitely better than my best day drinking. Because my best day drinking was a delusion and my worst day sober was real. Once I started drinking alcoholically I always had to pay the price for those "fun times" even if it wasn't right away. All of those "fun times" kept adding to the toll I would one day have to pay. A bad day sober seems to work the opposite, they seem to strengthen me over time.
