Driving under the influence (DUI) is a common, but serious offense that can have a multitude of consequences. While anyone who enjoys alcohol should drink responsibly, sometimes individuals find themselves in hot water with the law due to having too much to drink and getting behind the wheel. A person’s first DUI is normally going to be a misdemeanor offense. It is still possible to get jail time if there was an accident, the severity of that accident, or if the driver has prior convictions.
