If not... where is the lack of due process?

Her advocates' claims appear to be that it isn't reasonable to expect an intoxicated person to evaluate whether someone else can operate their vehicle (he was supposedly driving her home because she was drunk)... but where else is that a standard that absolves someone of responsibility?

"I was drunk when I signed that contract" won't get you out of the contract unless the other party knew you were drunk and took advantage of you.

Unless she didn't know she was drinking alcohol, drunkenness... while disabling... is a voluntary disablement that carries the assumption of risk.
