I think signing a release form while under the influence (drunk, high) voids the contract.

That's not necessarily the case, particularly where the other party relies on your statement and takes action (like releasing a movie) based on that reliance.
Let's say you got wasted, and you spent $5000 on bottles of Cristal for all your friends. Do you think you could tell MasterCard the next day, "I was drunk when I signed the credit card receipt promising to pay; the contract is void"? You wouldn't get very far with that argument. It's not MasterCard's job to make sure that you're making a smart decision about whether to sign. Unless they secretly drugged you, or you're a minor, you have to pay.
