It embraces and includes the varying degrees of insobriety from “under the influence of intoxicants” to “dead drunk.” It contemplates a situation where the host driver is affected by the intake of intoxicants to an extent which prevents him or her from exercising the care and caution in driving an automobile which a sober and prudent person would exercise under the same circumstances.”
