Awww, Shiner :l
Things won't feel right for a few months. I lost two dogs within 3 weeks of each other a few years back. I'd had them longer than the kids and from baby pups. When I went out to the garden I missed them for ages, as they would always accompany me round. I missed their ecstatic welcome when I'd only been gone for a few minutes. It just felt wrong without the presence of dog. After a year or so, I got another one - completely the opposite size and shape and personality, but again very much loved and part of the family.
When you're ready you'll probably give another dog a great home and a lot of love. In the meantime look after yourself. As you say, drinking doesn't make anything go away. It just makes you feel worse.
