Not the most tactful posts of all time, but yes. When you get in the car you're responsible for that decision. Now, you're not as responsible for what happens as the driver is, but particularly for people who get into the car with a drunk driver, they aren't entirely without blame.
In this case it will be interesting to see if alcohol played a part or if this was solely a case of losing control of the car at high speed.
