The thinking behind this is that a car is a deadly weapon, and that it is malicious to drive it on the road when drunk, and you are aware or should be that your actions could result in the death of another, therefore it is de facto malice, sufficient for a charge of murder, even though, in fact, there was not any intent to harm anyone at all.
as i have been plenty guilty of driving drunk many times, im not lecturing anyone, but i think this is warranted.
there has been not one time i drove drunk that i wasnt cognizant of the fact i was drunk when i was walking to my car. i always knew, and still drove my car, so if i did kill someone, i would say that it was maliciously
