yes for drunk driving
Misdemeanor drunk driving is when you are stopped by the police for erratic driving and it is obvious to the police that you have been drinking, and it is your first drunk driving offense. You are charged with felony drunk driving when there are aggravating circumstances such as causing an accident or bodily harm to a person other than yourself, whether that person is a passenger in your car or not. This is a felony regardless of whether it is your first offense. It is also a felony when you are driving drunk while a child under the age of 16 is a passenger in the car.

You will not be arrested for drunk driving unless tests in the field indicate probable intoxication. Therefore, the great majority of people arrested for DUI have, in fact, been drinking.
You will have your license revoked for 1 year.
