I struggle with the same problems, lucidity. Mostly -- well mostly I make it by God's grace. But I also try to remember that having sex with someone is going to harm my relationships, if not with her, than with other people I care about, and, no matter how I might feel at a given moment, if I were to given in, I wouldn't be happy with myself afterwards.
In your situation, I'd also work to make sure I wasn't in compromising situations, or in them as little as possible. You don't need to stop hanging out with anyone, necessarily, but if there are people with whom you feel it is more difficult to control yourself, then I'd avoid being alone with those people, especially if you've been drinking. And if there are situations where you find it more difficult to control yourself, avoid those situations.
