I don’t feel like alcohol affects my judgement

I know, i know but hear me out first, lol xD!!.
I have been the type to pretty much ONLY drink on New Years eve.
Was drunk the first time when i was 23 years old.

When i drink i thoroughly enjoy that woozy, floaty feeling you get when you’ve had a bunch to drink. It feels like you’re an astronaught, jumping around on the moon and when you get home in bed it feels like you’re melting into the madress with a dozen weighted blankets on top of you, there’s honestly nothing like it and i look forward to that feeling ALL year, EVERY year… However i have noticed something odd…

Every time i have been drunk, which is about a dozen or so times in my life at this point (give or take a couple of times anyway) i always seem to be just as responsible, boring or judgmentally/enviromentally aware as i am when I’m sober.

I’ll give examples:

There was one new years eve where my friends and i decided to go make smores and steaks over a bonfire near a lake. I got so drunk i could barely stand up without falling (Which again, is the feeling i love and look forward to) and they all tried to convince me to go swimming with them in the lake to which i refused due to me being too drunk for it to end up as anything but an accident if i were to do it. So they all jumped in the lake and met me at the bonfire a while later. Another year we decided to go bar jumping and by that time we had already had a good amount to drink, being on an empty stomach i was already by the point where i couldn’t walk straight. Once again i decided that me being on a bicycle wasn’t the wisest of choices and despite my friends telling me to jump on it ended with me pulling my bike on foot all the way downtown where i finally met them after a 40-ish minute walk… On the same walk i patiently waited for the light to turn green aswell instead of just going on a red light, even though no cars were present during that time of night. Another incident happened when i got absolutely shitfaced drunk, my stomach was aching so bad it felt like it had It’s own heartbeat (this was only the 3rd time i had ever been drunk. I was only 24 years old at the time so i wasn’t aware that mixing things was a bad idea). I ended up drinking a box of 30 beers alone, aswell as shots, whiskey, redwine and Breezers. (My friends and i started drinking that morning at 07:00 and when the clock had hit midnight and the new year had started i had already gone through the first box of those 30 beers. Needless to say i learned a hard lesson about mixing alcohol which I’ve never done since… But even then, in that state of being so drunk that even my friends argued about calling an ambulance, i told them that there’s no point in wasting resources away from someone who’s in dire need here and now, like a heart attack or a stroke and i ended up convining them to just keep an eye on me, bring me some saltwater and wait it out… And i was right, i never needed that ambulance… Another episode i was once again drunk enough that i could barely walk. (I always drink until i hit that state of being since that’s the feeling i love) My best friends dad had just passed away and while this was not a new years eve, he did call me and we did get stinking drunk, laughing together while he was telling stories about his dad. On my way home i made eye contact with another guy who by the looks of his zigzagging way of walking was about as drunk as i was. He got angry over me looking at him, walked over to push me and yelled at me to start a fight. Once again, stinking drunk i calculated the situation in my head as i always do and picked the most logical and constructive decision. I profusely apologized to the guy even though he was a short king (I’d guess a head shorter than me and I’m only 5’9). I told him it was my mistake for looking at hime, that he was right and that i hope he could forgive me. the situation de-escalated quickly and ended as abrubtly as it began.

And that brings me to my question for this post…
Why is it that i see so many other people who do a bunch of stupid stuff that they normally wouldn’t do when they were sober. Stuff that they can look back and cringe at, laugh at or share as an embarrasing story… To me it always feels like my body is getting hammered but my brain is as aware and competent as it is when sober.
I don’t have any embarrasing stories of doing stupid things when drunk.
Even my friends throw jabs at me for being “a boring drunk”.

When we meet new people each year on our anual new years eve party they always tell the newcomers that I’m the boring one or “he’s the parent of the group”.
And they’re right. I AM boring when I’m drunk, lol xD…
Obviously GETTING drunk in and of itself is not a good judgement call to begin with but if you take that aside I’m always highly calculated in my behavior wether drunk or sober and i always run the risk-VS-reward scenarios through my head before doing anything risky, wether It’s jumping in a lake, using my bicycle home or kissing a stranger on the dancefloor. I never swim. I never bike and i never kiss that stranger because they could have herpes for all i know…

Is my brain just wired differently or what’s going on here??…
Anyone else have the same experience when drinking that they only feel physiologically drunk but not the emotional or psychological effects of drunkness??…
I always do the right thing. I always pick up my litter if i made a mess when drunk so i don’t harm any animals in nature. I always wait for the green light at a crossroad etc etc…
