In the US, depending on which state or jurisdiction you are in, it is called Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Some states use DUI as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In some jurisdictions, you can be charged with DWI or DUI even if your do not meet the Blood Alcohol Concentrations (BAC) levels for legal intoxication.

In Canada the similar charge is Driving while Impaired (DWI).
