Why shouldn't I drink?

Everything I hear about sobering up is "It'll get better with time", "You'll appreciate the small things in life again" "You'll feel like a new person" and similar sentences.

All of these require a possible positive view of life. I never felt positive about my life. Why shouldn't I be an alcoholic? Sober life sucks and I think alcohol is more or less a way to fill the void inside and not something in my way of living a good life.

That's just my personal view and I'd appreciate some other opinions.

Thank you for reading.
