Narrative:
On our flight release we were filed to fly to rkcty and then the RKCTY1 arrival to detroit. I loaded this into the FMS. When we received our clearance from ATC; they cleared us to rkcty and then the KKISS1 arrival; but I never changed it in the FMS. We took off and navigated to rkcty and didn't realize I had programmed the wrong arrival until they cleared us to stley; which is a fix on the KKISS1. We reprogrammed the FMS and navigated as directed with no further issuesi believe there were several factors: multiple arrivals utilizing the same fix is a threat in itself. In addition to this; we were on leg 5 on day 4 of our 4 day trip. We also had a drunk passenger that we didn't allow on board; and I think that contributed to distraction during the preparation phase of our flight. Not using the same fix on multiple arrivals would help eliminate confusion for arrivals. Also I should have verified all the fixes on the arrival as part of my briefing.
