        An OUI occurs when someone is operating, or is in actual
physical control, of a motor vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol or other controlled substance to the extent that their mental
faculties are impaired and/or their blood alcohol content (BAC) is
above the legal limit (.08 in Massachusetts). Even for a first offense,
penalties can include license suspension, substantial fines,
community service, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV
approved alcohol program, mandatory overnight incarceration and
the required installation (at the offender's expense) of a car ignition
locking device. In addition, a drunk driving conviction stays on a
DMV record for several years, it typically results in higher insurance
premiums, and an offender may become ineligible for credit.  Plus, a
OUI could also jeopardize your employment opportunities.

      However, if someone was injured as a result of the drunken
driving accident, it is possible the defendant will be charged with a
felony (and if the victim dies, the driver may be charged with
vehicular manslaughter). Further, a OUI conviction will likely be
raised to a felony if it is the driver's fourth OUI offense or the driver
has had a prior felony OUI offense within 10 years of the new charge.
