Drunk Driving

It is illegal in the State of Ohio to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or above. The limit is lower for commercial drivers and drivers under the age of 21. In Ohio a DUI is called a OVI, meaning "Operating a Vehicle Intoxicated". The Ohio OVI law includes alcohol or drugs or both. While the OWI specify's a .08 BAC in the case of alcohol, it is illegal to drive with any amount of a controlled substance such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or meth present in the driver's blood.

 

Public Intoxication

If the police believe that you are so drunk in public that you are unable to care for your own health and safety, or the safety of those around you, you can be arrested. Since this is a judgment call and is a vague law, a criminal defense lawyer who is aggressively on your side and interested in making sure you get a fair shake can minimize the penalties you could be exposed to.

 

Drunk and Disorderly

Simply being drunk in public is not itself against the law, but causing a disturbance when you are drunk is.
