Hitting her on purpose would not be criminally negligent homicide, it would be homicide. What you described is a blase attitude that suggests it's OK to have no imagination of risks that can get people killed, and that's OK because after all they're drunk or stupid. Your words.
Malice is not required for criminally negligent homicide. And yes, indeed, much better to fix the problem, that was my point. Not blame drunk or stupid people, which was your point.

Any killing of a human by a human is homicide, even the kind that is not criminal; what you probably mean is that it would have been murder (or maybe voluntary manslaughter.)
