Best Answer

Most states use DUI or dwi to mean the same thing-the state decides which acronym. But some states do differential the two for dwi as involving a minor and a DUI involving someone over the legal drinking age. So, depending on your state, it could just mean that you are facing a second offense DUI or it could mean you are facing a DUI after being charged with driving drunk as a minor. If this seems confusing, the link goes into more detail about the differences.
