What is the punishment for drunk driving?
Though this varies according to the laws of the state and the customs of the local jurisdiction, penalties have become very tough in the past few years. Generally speaking, a conviction for a first offense may involve a fine, a license suspension or restriction, attendance at a DUI education course for a period of time, and probation for perhaps three years. A short jail sentence of only 2-4 days may or may not be required; for a second offense, it almost certainly will.

Additional punishment may involve community service, ignition interlock devices and/or impounding of the vehicle.
