Rhode Island DUI Defined
A Rhode Island DUI Attorney will point you to Title 31, section 31-27-2 of the Rhode Island General Laws, which states that a DUI means the operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of any “intoxicating liquor, drugs, toluene, or any controlled substance.” A blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08 percent or higher makes you intoxicated in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island DUI Attorney Rory Munns can help you understand. You will learn that reaching a BAC of .08 percent varies by number and type of drinks (i.e. wine, beer, proof liquor) as well as body weight. A person weighing 100 pounds may reach .08 drinking one 12 ounce beer, while a person that weighs 160 pounds would need to drink four 5 ounce glasses of wine to reach the same level. This according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
