DUI
Boozy driving offense
DUI stands for "driving under the influence"—the criminal offense of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
The term appears in legal contexts and everyday speech: She was arrested for DUI, a DUI conviction can affect employment.
Some jurisdictions use DWI (driving while intoxicated) for the same offense. (Also written informally as dui.)
