Up to one year in jail
Driver's license suspension for up to one year
Up to $2,500 in fines
Attendance at alcohol or drug abuse education classes ("DUI School")

You may face more consequences if there are special circumstances attached to your case.

If you are found to have an extremely high blood alcohol content (BAC) while driving, you will spend mandatory time in jail. A BAC of .15 percent or higher is considered to be excessively high. For a BAC of between .15 and .20 percent, you will face a mandatory five-day jail sentence. For a BAC of .20 or over, you will face a ten-day sentence.

Any driver with a BAC above .15 will be ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed in his or her vehicle. To start your car, you have to blow into the device, which measures your BAC level. If it is above a preset level, the engine will not be allowed to start. This installation also incurs additional costs for the driver.

Drivers convicted of driving under the influence while transporting a minor will face an additional mandatory five-day jail sentence and an addition fine of $500 to $1,000.
