Quite natural. Many of us have experienced this thought.
But ask yourself for a second. What's the worst thing if you didn't have that drink? What, exactly and precisely, would you miss out on that you couldn't have with equal or greater satisfaction while sober?
I think it's a bit of a game our AV plays with us. I don't believe that people who don't have issues with alcohol think of it that way. I think generalized, nebulous thoughts like "man imagine not being able to drink..." are mostly just made of fear of the unknown and aren't really real.
Hope that sort of makes sense. You may want to read around a bit and learn about the AV and what not. Not every voice or thought you have in your head is the core you. It's good to start learning and understanding where some of those thoughts are coming from and what they are up to.
