What Is Considered DUI?

In New Hampshire, as in most other states, drivers with a blood alcohol content (BAC) level more than .08 percent can be charged with DUI. Drivers with more than .04 percent and minors with any amount of alcohol in their system are also guilty of DUI. Driving under the influence of drugs, even certain prescription medications, can also result in a DUI conviction.
