In those kinds of situations, you would probably be protected provided you took all reasonable steps to make sure your guest didn't drive home drunk. The drunk guy probably doesn't have the capacity to make a rational decision so the onus on the (presumably) sober host is even greater. Maybe this case will come back and say you better physically remove the keys from your guest and/or make sure the dude takes a cab. After the case is decided, we'll know for sure.
