I worked at bars for years and I hated NYE because people were STUPID drunk and acted like fools. Drunk v doesn't bother me because I know it isn't contagious. It's gross but meh. I am out of the age where it is fun to do that or be around it, so I get why you hate it but I do think its fun to do something social, even if it just a movie or bowling. I like to stay home but I am old and crotchety and need a walker (so my 7 year old son says).
