Yelled at my brother because he got into a car with a drunk driver? Was I in the wrong?

Update:

Okay so tonight my newly 18 year old brother (I'm only 19) came home from a night out, he was telling me about it and laughingly played off that the driver had drunk 4 ciders before giving people a lift home, I immediately snapped and told him that's the one thing that simply crosses the line, amongst my friends (How are uni students and heavy drinkers). Drink driving and seat belts and something we can lose friends over, never been sure why but we just always thought it crossed the line, anyway

    Yelling probably wasn't the best option but completely understandable. When you guys are on speaking terms again, explain to him why you were so angry. Not only did he endanger his own life by getting the car, he was also complacent in letting his friend endanger others by driving drunk. If you think his friend is going to do it again, tip off the police and hopefully he'll get caught before he hurts anyone.

    All drunk drivers think they're fine to drive right up until they eventually kill someone.
