drunk-driving
Intoxicated behind wheel
Drunk-driving is operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol.
The term functions as both noun and modifier: drunk-driving laws, arrested for drunk-driving.
Also written as two words or as DUI (driving under the influence).
The hyphenated form emphasizes it as a single concept—a type of driving rather than driving done by a drunk.
