The laws for driving under the influence vary among the states, as do the consequences. In most states there are increasing penalties for each subsequent infraction. It often begins with a low level misdemeanor with some potential jail time and increases to significant felony charges with long prison sentences. Also, there are factors that can aggravate the charges such as not having vehicle insurance or causing property damage or personal injury. In most situations the penalties will include significant fines, taking alcohol education classes and restrictions, suspensions or revocations of driving privileges.
