Can you get a DUI for driving hungover?
Will I get a DUI if I get pulled over while hungover? I wouldn’t think that being hungover would earn you a DUI, but I’m not sure how long you have to wait before driving.

It is possible to get a DUI for driving while hungover if you still have a high BAC. However, you’ll only have a high BAC if you’re still drunk from the previous night. Even if you’ve slept, had some coffee, showered, etc., it’s possible that you still have enough alcohol in your system to impair you.
If you’re ever unsure whether you should drive after a night out, call a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft instead of driving home. While this might cost you a little bit of extra money, it’s nothing compared to the cost of a DUI.
