If I play best while slightly drunk? Its scary, man! Guess I should play more fearless while sober? But its not the same... somehow...

Why would you think that? For ages people use alcohol to get through terrifying situations. Car accidents caused by drunk driving happen not only because of loss of hand/eye coordination or w/e; alcohol also makes people reckless.

I'm much funnier when i'm drunk, better with women and a much better dancer.

However that's my own assessment, and considering i'm drunk while making it then it might not be that accurate.

It's just means your nervous at the table and alcohol helps you relax my brother in law would have two beers at the table to just unwind when he use to play

Depends on a few things. Firstly, the type of game you're playing in, if it's a very fast variant the lack of inhibition may help you. Especially if you're naturally too nitty/tight.
Secondly, how solid your game is in general, as it were (I'm not suggesting we have a 'rote' we bring to the table and just plug it in and off we go). But if you understand certain patterns and plays really well then they could hold up even under the harm that alcohol is doing to your mental faculties.
Thirdly, how personal the game is, for want of a better word. Big difference between heads-up and full-table deepstack tournies. For me, all the 'other guy' stuff, reads, carefully putting on hands, understanding of who he is, that all seems to get quite messed up after about 3 beers. I mean European beers, not that shandy stuff you get in America
I always find it kind of uncanny just how badly booze and poker go together. You feel fine and reasonably cogent, it gives you a fearlessness and aggression that most games tend to love (with qualification). But it seems to cut right to the heart of what makes good poker playing good and just screw it all up. Almost the perfect drug for bankroll busting.

a small amount of alcohol makes you smarter, miore creative etc. its scientifically proven, look it up. then once you are at the "perfect spot" it actually hinders your thought process.
