Hi ICan
Have you considered having an attitude ambivalence towards alcohol intoxication. On one hand it helps, yet on the same hand it hurts. I've experience just that in my recovery.

Once past indecision about stop the drink some clarity can set in. You can get there

You say you can't get sober. I think you can, you just haven't done it yet.

Sure you can get sober. It would likely help were you to stop making the decision to drink over and over again.

There is a significant difference between something that happens to us and something that we do. Only one of them is beyond our capacity to change it.

You’ve got the answer already to your question “well why not?”

All hell breaks loose, that’s why not. As well as I’m sure a myriad of other reasons. Perhaps a more pertinent question would be “Why?”.
