I actually do not like being drunk anymore. I like a moderate buzz, but the past few times I have gone farther then that, all I wanted to do was get sober, because being intellectual, I hate feeling and acting stupid.
Sounds exactly like me. Plus, half the fun of a party is seeing everyone else acting stupid while you are sober.
However, I hate even more the feeling of being too uncomfortable to speak up or...well, you know the drill. In some situations that are hard for me to deal with, a bit of alcohol makes me able to adapt perfectly. There's also the social aspect of drinking. Some of the best social experiences I can remember were sitting around a campfire or at a house party just chatting and having a good time with friends, drinking a little the entire time.
Everything in moderation.
