To recapitulate some of the previous posters comments:
Yes, you fucked up. It happens. It's called life. That doesn't make driving drunken acceptable, but it's also not like chopping up a baby and putting it in the disposal. The drunkeness is not the crime, the hitting someone is. You were irresponsible, but she had better be pretty perfect in order for you to want to put up with that type of personality. Maybe it's just a hangup with her; fine, she'll have to learn to be less stringent about it or else alienate *a lot* of people she will meet. That's her choice.
Yours is whether or not you want to be on relationship probation with her over this, assuming it eventually could work out. If I were in your shoes, if you speak to her again and it comes up, I'd pretty much put my foot down. I'd tell her I didn't condone my behavior, but that I didn't really owe her an apology: she really wasn't involved in the situation, at all. Sure, I may have made a joke out it, but that's a common defense mechanism that virtually everyone uses to dispell being uncomfortable about their actions. She probably does it, she's probably being hypocritical, and if she wants to never speak again about it or to you again, fine - that's her choice. Out of your hands, etc. If not, then don't live in the shadow of these kinds of things. If she finds out that she can hold all of your fuck ups over you, then you're pretty much on the road to bitchville.
