What happens if you get into an accident that is not your fault, but you are intoxicated? I live in CA.

California has adopted a pure comparative fault system for purposes of calculating damages.  Under this type of regime, if an injured driver is partially to blame for his or her injuries, he or she will be allowed to recover damages minus the percentage of fault.  For instance, if Joelle was 20% at fault for the accident, and her personal injury damages are $10,000, she will be entitled to recover $8000.  DUI California penalties include vehicle seizure, state prison sentence, county jail, fines, suspension of license, alcohol rehabilitation, community service, probation, and alcohol rehabilitation.  First-time DUI offenders in California can expect to have their license revoked for a minimum period of four months.  Second-time offenders are subject to a minimum one-year suspension if the offense took place within a decade.  A third offense (one that occurs within a ten-year period of the second offense) carries a two-year revocation.
