Some people, yes. Many, no. | I'm sure statistically, there'd be more drunk driving related deaths and all because there are more drunk drivers than are street racers. But the question here is not which kills more but rather which is worst.
I guess to start to answer this question you'd have to define worst. Do you calculate worst by the number of deaths per year or do you calculate by % chance of dying/causing an accident per incident?
Since I'm to lazy to do both, I'd say they're both equally stupid. =p

I would say drinking and driving is more dangerous...or something that police should spend their money and time on.
I know a lot of police forces spend a lot of $$$$ to prevent/catch street racing, but if you simply look at how many people are injured/killed because street racing and drinking and driving, drinking and driving is a lot more common and killing a lot more lives.

both are bad
depends on the situation?
drunk driving can lead to bad judgment which can lead to street racing?
if its just sober street racing then i say street racing is worse
if your in a sober state and you decide to race and get fucked up, thats worse then being impaired and getting behind the wheel... because at least when ur drunk you have shit judgment compared to being sober and street racing... but then again being sober and street racing your less likely to crash as opposed to when your drunk just trying to drive...
what the fuck did i just say?
FUCK both are bad
i aint gonna say i aint done it.. im just one of the lucky ones.. knock on wood.. getting away with it doesnt mean you should keep doing it though.. killing yourself is one thing.. having someone else die because of you on your conscience is prob some shit ass shit
pls drive safe

obviously it all depends
driving after having only 2 beers and staying sober is still considered DRUNK DRIVING
driving after having 20 beers and to the point you can barely walk or stay wake is also considered drunk driving
same idea for street racing...you can be street racing on an empty and open road or weaving between traffic and blind corners

Street Racing IMO.
I think I drive better drunk. Made that mistake driving home once. Was so worried about getting attention from cops that I was 100% focused on driving perfect to the book. Perfect speed limit, proper turning procedures, mirrors --> signals --> shoulder check and all that. I was driving like I had a driving examiner beside me. Completely killed all my in grown bad driving habits that develooped over time.
Would never do it again though.

your English is worst 
they're both pretty damn dangerous imo,
but if I had to choose one, I'd lean towards drunk driving.
better being aware of how dangerous you're being than being impaired.

drunk driving is leads to more accidents, because you're DRUNK and dont know wtf you're doing.
street racing, you're SOBER but still causing accidents and deaths.
i say they're equally bad. one you're killing because you have no control (not an excuse), the other you're killing because you're immature and have too much pride.

so you had a few drinks, but you weren't very drunk.
some of you need to look up the definition of drunk: affected by alcohol to the extent of losing control of one's faculties or behavior

some people can drink to infinity and still be ok to drive. i mean even when im sober i use maybe 5% of my brain and attention to drive. unless im downtown of course. then it takes every iota of consciousness i have to get out alive.
But on the other hand I never drive high. i just cannot do it. But with liquor in my I rarely worry. some people handle different things better.

it sounds like alot of people cant handle their alcohol on here. or their idea of drunk is drinking a 40 of crown in one sitting.

A driver doesn't have to be falling over drunk to get his car towed away in a Road Check.

Both are poor decision choices.
But i think drunk driving is a little higher than street racing.
