And you can't argue that a drunk may not know what drinking and getting behind the wheel of a car can do. What it comes down to is what an average person reasonablly knows. An average person knows drinking and driving can lead to killing someone. An average person does not know that an athletic career can directly lead to you killing someone.
Ignorance doesn't not negate accountablility in any sence.
