Illegal street racing, being more of a calculated act, seems marginally worse morally. Of course it goes without saying that’s not to defend drunk driving.
Because no one makes the decision to drive somewhere, get hammered, and then drive home? Calculated or not, it’s still a decision being made. Both are dumb decisions that can and do kill people.
Illegal street racing being more preemptive and calculated is more immoral, unless they block the road to be certain of clear road, but drunk driving is overall worse as they are less in control.
There’s also that drunk driving is usually lone participation, so there’s only one nutter involved.
But yes. Regardless of whether one is worse than the other, they’re both terrible and doing neither is the best option.
By analogy, I’ve invented a limb-chomper machine. Sometimes it mangles limbs when one is put into it. At least 50% of the time it doesn’t. So will you put in an arm or a leg?
And, get this, despite being an analogy, the machine is safer than either drunk driving or illegal street racing because only the user is at risk! Amazing!

Where did I say anything that implied otherwise?
