While it is
not illegal to drink alcohol and drive, it is illegal to
drive under the influence or "while intoxicated"
when your ability to operate a car has been affected by
alcohol or drugs, such as when you can no longer judge
distances or react to emergencies while driving.
With regards
to drinking and driving, the legal limit is
currently set at a 0.08% alcohol to blood ratio.
DUI is a
criminal traffic offense, the penalties for which are
more and more severe each time there is a conviction.
For example, a first-time DUI conviction doesnt
require jail time as part of the sentence. But a
second-time DUI conviction within five (5) years of
the first requires a minimum of ten (10) days jail.
You should also know that DUI can be charged as a
felony under certain circumstances. And, if arrested
for DUI, your Florida Drivers' License can be
suspended by the Florida
Department of Motor Vehicles.
