Hi daredevil. You've gotten to one of the "causes and conditions" that afflicts so many of us with alcoholism. Some of us have found the the search for meaning to be an answer. That search is more difficult for some of us than it is for others but its a fundamental part of recovery for many.
Some have found relief from this sense of emptiness through what can only be described as a sense of the spiritual. I hope you are open to this possibility. It's been so essential to so many.
One thing is certain. There is nothing meaningful in a drink or a drug.
