> I believe it is murder, or at least criminally neglegent homicide… I lean more towards murder for 1 reason. It was a choice that was made to get into a car and drive while intoxicated, It’ wasn’t like a bolt rusted on a rollerocaster or something… ther person made the CHOICE to get into the car knowing that they were impaired, and unable to drive… but figured they could make it the 2 miles or 5 miles or 10 miles home becase it was cheaper / easier than a cab.  
> I’ve looked at what a person my size has to drink for it to become DWI… (5 beers 1 hour) assuming .02 per beer and .02 being lost in an hour. I’ve drank this much or more and KNOW that I should not be in my car… I acutally figure about 3 drinks in an hour is my limit for getting into a vehicle and being able to drive normally (which is correct because .6 is DUI).

What if they didn’t mean to kill them but they died from inuries?

This is what I have been saying too. And somehow people on here think it is somehow alright to make that choice to drink and drive. You should still get more of a punishment even if you don’t hit anything at all. That doesnt make you sweet at driving drunk or anything, it makes you a person who should be charged with attempted homicide every time you drink and drive at all.
