Then you've never been buzzed 
Feeling "buzzed" feels nice by definition. If you don't like it... it can't be being buzzed.
Buzzed=tipsy right? Tipsy is heaven.
If everyone could be constantly tipsy without ever being drunk... we'd live in a better world.

Never cared for cakes, or sweets of any sort, once past adolescence, so I've got no sway on that topic. But a nice ribeye roast marinaded in a cab, or a tritip marinaded in a decent pale ale -- marvelous.
I've ruined enough beef over a grill that I might qualify for a career in Dante's version of the inferno, but I think I'll try these marinades. I generally simply use garlic, salt and pepper. I'm not a cook. You need something mechanical designed and built, or a vehicle fixed, I'm your guy. My wife's father was a grillmeister, and she expects me to have the same tendencies. I'm not that guy. Shit, I burn fish sticks on the grill. 
With either of these marinades I'll add a splash or two of Worcerstershire sauce. I pierce the meat beforehand, and give it a rub of fresh-ground pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder before immersion. A roast will marinade two or three hours, a steak an hour or so.

Because you are the one who is drunk.

I'm a spoiled brat when it comes to booze. I like Scotch. I tolerate other kinds. But Scotch I drink one shot at a time, savoring. Not a snob, a $25/bottle brand has its good points. A bottle of 30 yo Macallan, at $1,700/bottle, has its good points. It's just that one has more good points than the other. I have between one and three shots a day, spaced out hours apart. I've been drunk once in the last 20 years or so.

No, as a physically disabled person, I don't like an increased lack of control over my body or faculties.
I know you're trying to be funny, but this is actually kinda an asshole comment from you. Protip: don't tell others what they have or have not felt after they've told you they've felt something.

I drink beer (real beer, not the fizz they call lager) red wine and brandy (no, not all in the same glass)
I rarely have more than one or two drinks in a day and cannot remember the last time I was drunk, I enjoy the flavour more than the effect of the alcohol.
If a doctor told me I had to give up alcohol it would not be a big problem but giving up coffee would be very hard!

I fucking love Worcestershire sauce.
Do you like grilled cheese sandwiches? And have you tried Worcestershire sauce on a grilled cheese sandwich?

I've met one drunken married woman once who said I was a 'dark horse' and that she 'had a thing for dark horses'.... she started snuggling up to me then she gave me a lift in her car and dropped me off at my house. That was pretty weird but still no luck with the ladies. The one time I have potential the woman in question happens to be married!

I'm Irish with a splash of Cuban, it's in my blood to drink. I love liquor, give me a bottle of a good rum or bourbon and I'll love you forever.
Also, worcestershire sauce is the shit. I put it on most meats while grilling.
Edit: I've also been known to sip from the bottle, much to my girlfriends amusement.

Not particularly, and no. Sounds like drunk-food to me!
