📝 AITA for leaving a group trip early because I got tired of babysitting grown adults?

A few weeks ago, I went on a group trip with some college friends. I planned the stay, handled the bookings, even picked places that everyone agreed on in the group chat. I'm the kind of guy who likes things smooth chill vibes, good food, a little exploring. Not chaos. From the moment we got there, people started acting like it was spring break in high school. No coordination, no time awareness, and no respect. Drinking too early, loud arguments over nothing, trash left everywhere. I literally had to wake people up and drag them to things they said they wanted to do. The final straw? One night, after I went to bed early (had a 6am hike I was excited for), they came back drunk, loud, and trashed the Airbnb's living room. I woke up, cleaned it, left a note saying I was heading home, and bounced. Got my own cab, my own train, peace of mind. Now some of them are calling me "dramatic" or saying I "ditched the group." I think I just respected myself enough not to waste time and energy on people who didn't give a damn. I didn't yell, I didn't argue, I just removed myself. So tell me:-AITA for refusing to play babysitter to grown people who act like children?
