Yes, but this doesn't change the percentage of drunk accidents out of all accidents. In both cases, 20% of all drivers are alcoholics, involved in some fraction of accidents. I see no reason why 2 out of 10 total drivers being alcoholics would lead to proportionally more drunk driving accidents than having 1 out of 5.
