Nope.
"entrapment n. in criminal law, the act of law enforcement officers or government agents to induce or encourage a person to commit a crime when the potential criminal expresses a desire not to go ahead. The key to entrapment is whether the idea for the commission or encouragement of the criminal act originated with the police or government agents instead of with the "criminal." Entrapment, if proved, is a defense to a criminal prosecution. The accused often claims entrapment in so-called "stings" in which undercover agents buy or sell narcotics, prostitutes' services, or arrange to purchase goods believed to be stolen. The factual question is: Would Johnny Begood have purchased the drugs if not pressed by the narc?"
No one forced them to go into the bar. No one forced them to drink in excess making them intoxicated. No one forced them not to call a taxi or have a designated driver. No one forced them to get behind the wheel and drive off putting our lives in danger. They could have stopped, but went ahead anyway. If you saw a police officer watching you as you walked out of a bar, you knew you were drunk, and you got into your car, would you drive off? Can't claim entrapment on that one.
