What Happens If You Get a DUI in Georgia?
By Michael Barber
In Georgia, it’s against the law to drive after drinking too much alcohol or using certain drugs. This is called a DUI, which stands for “Driving Under the Influence.”
If a police officer thinks a driver had too much to drink, they might ask them to take a breath test. For adults 21 and older, having a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher usually means a DUI charge. For drivers under 21, the limit is much lower — just 0.02%.
A DUI is serious. It can mean losing your driver’s license, paying fines, or even going to jail — especially if it happens more than once.
