It depends on if the person has been caught before by police with drink driving. Also the seriousness of the offence (such as harming someone, killing someone, or damaging property while drinking and driving, and how much they are over the limit)

Also depends on if the person has a criminal history. Normally if they don't have a criminal history, they will get: licence disqualification, community service and even loss of car.

If they have re-committed the crime of drink driving, then they could face prison time (normally the shortest sentence for this offence is 6 months in prison...but if they re-offend too many times they could face 18 months - 2 years in prison)

They could lose their licence for 6 months up to 2 years. And extreme circumstances they could lose their licence forever.

If someone has been killed in a car crash and the person at fault was drink driving, they could face up to 7 years in prison.

It completely comes down to the judge (and what mood she or he is in) and the individual circumstances of the case. Talk with ya lawyer, see where she or he thinks the case is, and what type of plea you should do, and if home detention is a option or not if you face a prison sentence
