Drunk driving can be referred to as driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI). Both terms are synonymous.

You can be charged with DUI or DWI if you have a breath blood alcohol level of .08 or higher or if you are found to be driving while your normal faculties are impaired by drugs or alcohol or both. When it comes to the law, it doesn’t matter if the drug is legal or illegal, over-the-counter or prescription medication. If taking that drug affects your ability to walk, talk, judge distance, see or hear, or if it affects any other mental or physical ability used in driving, you could be found guilty of a driving under the influence.

Police check for intoxication by having a suspect take a variety of field sobriety exercis-es or by administering a chemical test, such as the Breathalyzer. Field sobriety tests might include standing on one leg or walking in a straight line.
