The passenger was decapitated because there was a car accident. There was a car accident because the driver was drunk.

The driver didn't encounter a decapitated body when he happened to be drunk. He caused it to happen which is much different from freezing up in an awkward social situation.
A lot of the time, when faced with such a traumatic situation, people tend to block things out and behave irrationally. Being intoxicated would probably only add to the likelihood of that occuring.

That being said, the dude should definitely go up the river for manslaughter.
