I’m not drunk vs I'm sober

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I'm not drunk' explicitly states the absence of being intoxicated, while 'I'm sober' implies a state of being clear-headed and not under the influence of alcohol. The choice between the two depends on the specific message the speaker wants to convey.
