What a terrible tragedy. While a agree that drinking and driving is NEVER okay, getting in the car with someone who has been drinking is also NEVER okay.
Lock the door and throw away the key, she might as well of had a loaded gun and killed Angela Heldenbrand with it. Drink after drink is like adding bullet after bullet into a gun. This is premeditated and should be treated as nothing less. She is fortunate that the other passengers were not killed.
