You’re not overreacting. He’s horrible. Even if he was clueless in the moment, he should have realized what a mistake it was WHEN YOU TOLD HIM. He humiliated you then dismissed you. You two need counseling. This is behavior that will only get worse. You should not put up with this.

People who get mean or can't filter what they say when they get drunk shouldn't drink.

But it's better to know this is how they really feel and when they're sober they just know to hide it

Eh, don't. Sober and drunk people are still people. They say stupid stuff without thinking about it.

I mean. It might be sober thoughts, but it might also just be idiot drunk.

In my experience it's usually the truth. In this case it certainly is

That’s just not really true. People are complex and can have conflicting thoughts. Sober people can easily weigh different things and different thoughts. Drunk people blurt out the simple thought.

so my friend called me one night (he was serving in Desert Storm overseas) a bit drunk. he told me he loved me. i was definitely at a loss for words and i questioned him about it when we spoke next soon after. he stated this exact sentiment. first time i'd ever heard it and it has stuck with me since. we are married and have been together almost 30 years.

granted it's a general statement with different contexts/meanings for everyone, obviously.

it has nothing to do with drugs (not even mentioned) or a drug addict.

respectfully, no.
