You can also be charged with DUI if you are observed to be impaired from alcohol and/or drugs regardless of your BAC level to the point where you are incapable of driving safely.

Up to 1-year in jail
Up to $2,100 in fines

Penalties for a DUI will depend on whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense, the level of your BAC, and other facts, such as whether you were driving with a passenger under the age of 14, whether you caused an injury accident, or refused to take a chemical test.
Other consequences of a DUI offense include a substance abuse evaluation with any attendant court-ordered programs, community service, increased auto insurance premiums, and possibly ignition interlocks. Second, third, and subsequent offenses carry harsher penalties.
