Driving while above the prescribed alcohol limit attracts a charge for the offence of driving under the influence (DUI) which carries a fine.
Persons can be charged for this traffic violation if, when tested, their blood alcohol content is found to exceed the prescribed limit of .35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, and their blood alcohol concentration exceeds 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. (G9)
