They call it driving under the influence.

DUI differs from DWI I think, as it includes pot, alchohol, legal (Rx) and illegal drugs.
I found out many years ago that local cops will do anything to bring in $$. Here, a DWI is a County offense and local police get a kick-back from the County for each one nabbed.
On the way home during an ice storm, I stopped at a pizza place and ordered one to go. While waiting, I had ONE mug of draft beer. The freeway wasn’t crowded and most of us were only driving about 35mph because it was slick. I went around a curve and my SUV slid a bit into the middle lane. ......Yep. Cop pulled me over and arrested me for Public Intoxication, because he knew I wasn’t DWI. ...Night in jail, $85 fine, cost of getting truck out of impound, missing a day of work, etc. ....All for just having one draft beer and local cops being so hell bent on racking up fines on their records.
Yeah, the guys had to be a little tweaked to write you up for sliding in the snow. You can be sober as a preacher on Sunday morning, and slip on the snow and ice.
Ridiculous...
