I know of a case where the driver was drunk and was t-boned by a sober driver. The drunk driver was just over the limit (drunk but not insanely so....and no I'm not justifying anything, just explaining), and was charged and at fault for the collision in the eyes of the police. This was because the argument was that while the sober driver erred the drunk should never have been there in the first place.
Now, would that hold up in court? I'm not sure that it would. I would imagine you could fight that successfully.
