Is this the standard Aspie reaction to alcohol?

I don't like being drunk. I do like the feeling I get when I've had a few drinks though (before I get proper drunk). Then I feel relaxed and like my brain is finally shutting up. The anxiety goes away for a while and I can talk about things without worrying. I don't lose control and I can still have logical and deep discussions (which I like). But if I'm proper drunk I just throw up and feel terrible. So I avoid getting completely drunk.

Technically, it should make you feel less overwhelmed and able to handle more processes (even social ones), due to it increasing GABA (GABA being something those with an ASD lack in).
