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

I don't agree. Although, in some circumstances(depending on how much you've had to drink), drunk driving is extremely negligent, and deserving of serious consequences when it results in a death of someone, I still think that that kind of a crime is manslaughter, not murder. Malice means you really intended to so harm to someone, not just that you were incredibly stupid , totally irresponsible, and out of your head.
