If you say he was intoxicated, there should be a police report and arrest to that end, and it may mitigate your damages. However, no matter what his DL status or driving habit, it had nothing to do with you violating the right of way. Whether it was a soccer mom or drunk without a license coming your way, your actions were the same. The other driver will have to face the consequences of that which is his fault, but you will probably end up fixing his car.
