It depends heavily upon the statutes of the state in which you are convicted in the US, and the actual charge. DUI and DWI (Driving Under the Influence and Driving While Intoxicated) convictions can either be misdemeanor or felony convictions in the US. Typically they begin relatively minor but progress with subsequent convictions. This is not so in ALL states, but it is more common than not. The actually consequences can range from a ticket and fine to 15 or more years in prison. Most states now also have provision for revoking your license and seizing your car for sale. Some states, like Michigan for instance, access a "Responsible Driver Fee" of thousands of dollars in the event your license is revoked. or jail for DUI or DWI

What is considered impaired bac in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he/ she operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater. BAC refers to the amount of alcohol in your blood. Although the law refers to a 0.08 percent BAC, you can be convicted of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor even when your BAC is below 0.08 percent. Consuming even small amounts of alcohol dulls the senses, decreases reaction time, and hampers judgement, vision and alertness. If you consume any amount of alcohol and your driving is negatively impacted, you can be convicted of drunk driving. If you are under the age of 21 you will be convicted if you have any detectactable alcohol (over 0.01 BAC)
