In AZ 1 Beer and Driving Punishable by 10 days in Jail,1000+ in fines,1 Year Mandatory Ignition Interlock, an 90 Days Suspension ARIZONA’S DRUNK DRIVING LAWS
There are basically three drunk driving crimes in Arizona. First, it is a crime in Arizona to operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle [including water craft] while under the influence of alcohol or drugs [even drugs prescribed by a doctor]. It is not required that you be proven to be actually "drunk" to be convicted. "Under the influence" means that the suspect was “impaired in the slightest degree". The focus of this offense is whether at the time of operation or actual physical control of the vehicle was the operator impaired.
