For sure. In suing people, you tend to throw a lot of shinguard agains the wall and hope that something sticks (see Steve Moore's lawsuit). You sue everyone remotely connected with the cause of action and let the court sort it out. Part of the reasoning for this is that should you win judgement, you want to be able to collect. Doesn't do a lot of good if you only sue the impecunious driver. Sure you win in court but the chances of getting cash? Notta. However, you get the tavern and the bartender or the host of the party and the owner of the house involved and someone will probably have deep enough pockets to allow you to collect. Plus this in theory, however misguided the notion may be, should provide motivation to act responsibly when you are hosting a party.
Taking two sets of keys from your buddy was probably good enough. Unless you watched him take a third out of his pocket, get in the car and drive away. Provided you didn't know about the third set and should not have any reason to know about it, you were likely diligent enough to discharge your duty. Plus, if you weren't the host of the party in question there would be a different duty at play anyway...
