Driving while intoxicated is a very serious crime in the United States. Though the specific punishment varies by state, generally, first time offenders can be sentenced to up to six months jail time, with fines of up to 2,000 dollars. Subsequent convictions result in steeper punishments.
If a person is convicted of driving while intoxicated, they will face a fine, community service or possibly jail time. If another person is killed during a DWI accident, the intoxicated driver may face a manslaughter charge.

The moral risks are that you might kill or hurt someone and these can become legal problems too. If you don't hit anyone you could still face jail time, loss of your license, or a judge can force you to install a Breathalyzer type device in your car.

The difference between a DUI and a DWI varies by jurisdiction. In some places, DUI (driving under the influence) refers to impaired driving by alcohol, drugs, or both, while DWI (driving while intoxicated) may specifically refer to impairment caused by alcohol. In other jurisdictions, the terms may be used interchangeably to denote impaired driving regardless of the substance involved. It's important to check the specific laws in your area to understand the distinction.
