Considering the prequels are what they are I'm sure JJ will have made the film at least watchable without having to be inebriated. I'd say worse case scenario it will be a 7/10 film. Also if the movie end up being great you'll regret not being there on that historic opening night.
If I had as much confidence in JJ's abilities as you seem to, I might be more excited. But frankly, on the anticipation scale, TFA doesn't rank as high as the possibility of another Lilo and Stitch direct-to-video sequel. Hey, they could both be good, right? Also they might not. My happiness does not hinge on getting either of those questions answered. Ever, really.
I don't regret not seeing Star Wars on opening night--I don't see how I could possibly regret not seeing TFA on opening night.
I think we're just on opposite ends of the caring spectrum.
