Quitting smoking while drinking

So I'm back into my quitting smoking mode (it's day #2 LOL but hey it's a start. Longest I've quit was 4 months at a pack a day, cold turkey] and I want to know for all you people who have quit smoking (even WHILE drinking), how could I convince myself that I could still enjoy drinking?

I literally feel really sleepy after 1 drink and maybe it's the company that I'm with, but I really feel so much different if I'm smoking and drinking rather than when I'm not.I kinda feel sad knowing that I won't be able to smoke :-( Anyone else feel this way?

I sometimes don't even look forward to drinking if I KNOW that I can't smoke. I kinda feel like I'm missing out on something, and it's not fair that others "get to" smoke. [Though I know that is completely irrational and stupid.] How should I change my mindset so that I can keep my quit for good this time?

Thanks for any replies or comments!
