Penalties for drunk driving in New Jersey increase with each offense, so it gets worse every time you are convicted. You essentially face the following:

A fine of $1,000
180 days imprisonment
Ten year loss of license
Either $1,000 or $1,500 in DMV surcharges per year for three years, depending upon if the prior conviction occurred within three years
$364 in other fees, charges and costs
A one to three year installation of ignition interlock device

The scariest part of all of this is the jail term, which cannot be served on weekends, on work release, or house arrest. However, the judge may allow up to 90 days of it to be served in an approved in-patient alcohol treatment facility. Get more info here!
