DWI laws are often harsher than one might expect. The penalty, though, often fits the crime. If you are thinking about drinking and driving, it may be wise to take the time to consider the penalties for driving while drunk. In the end, most find that the risk is simply not worth the punishment.
Most state DWI laws treat the driver quite severely. Most first offenders are required to pay a fine and to attend classes, as well as to serve a probation period. Those that have more than one violation are quite likely to serve jail time, and judges tend to be quite hard on repeat offenders.
If you drive will drunk, your only recourse is to hire a lawyer. Prosecutors tend to come down hard on offenders, and deals are very rarely offered. Whether it was one drink or many, it is always safer to let someone else drive.
