Does anyone else feel happier drunk?

whenever i get drunk, high, or like smoke nicotine i notice that i tend to feel happier and more at peace, is this normal, just to clarify ive never been diagnosed with autism or anything of the sort, but people around me always tell me im a form of different and such, but yeah back to the question (im drunk as of typing this) i tend to feel just a million times happier and more at peace because im not thinking of anything or really feeling anything, im what people call "living in the moment" and enjoying whats directly in front of me while feeling in less control of my body and such. When i say this, i only say it because when im out and about, or hanging out with my ex or like just even existing in my home, i dont feel the paranoia of wondering if some weird series of events is gonna come along and just absolutely beat the fuck out of my ass, and whoevers with me ass, so i dont feel to be as vigilante yk? Like if im under the influence of anything im not like worried about some fucking unlikely scenario that after i think about it afterwards isnt likely.
