Driving drunk was his first mistake.
It only got worse from then on.

Charge his parents.
These things don't happen in a vacuum.
They probably allowed his drunken behavior. They accepted things like pounding on the doors like an animal.
All of which is unacceptable behavior and deadly when you take that show on the road.

He was 22 years old. At what age are parents free from the mistakes of their children?

Charge his parents 22 years old and no longer lives with his parents.
What do you intend to charge his parents with? Probable cause of setting bad examples?

Charge his parents.Yes...because they won't learn enough of a lesson from their son's funeral.
I think the correct answer is "don't charge the homeowner".
Tragic set of circumstances started in motion by the young man's excessive drinking.
