Agreed. If it only involved the death or maiming of the imbiber, a harsh view would be "Darwin at work!" But of course all-too-frequently, those who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong moment are the victims.
I've heard (maybe you can confirm or correct this) that many times the drunk driver is so "relaxed" that he is less injured while the sober person he hits is wide awake and frantically trying to do something to avoid the accident and so is tensed up and likely to be more seriously injured . . .
