DUI.  DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE.  This is a reminder that DUI is a Class-1 misdemeanor that carries potential for up to 12 months in jail and up to a $2500 fine.  This is a first offense.  

REMEMBER - you are legally intoxicated in Virginia if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08.  That is VERY little...in fact, that is 1 drink - 1 beer, 1 shot, or 1 glass of wine.

DUI is no laughing matter.  It is dangerous and it can cost you dearly.  Don't drink and drive in Virginia.
