DUI / DWI - Drunk driving is known as driving under the influence (DUI) is some states and driving while impaired or intoxicated (DWI) in other states. DUI/DWI refers to operating a vehicle or being in actual physical control of a vehicle while one's blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit set by state law. This is considered the level at which the driver’s mental faculties are impaired. State statutes vary as to what that level is, but it ranges from .08 to .10. This charge is a criminal offense in all the U.S. states and most countries. A combination of the use of alcohol and any chemical or controlled substance can also result in a DUI/DWI charge.
