These are the amounts of alcohol that will will lead to charges of drunk driving or driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida. When faced with being accessed of being under the influence, while operating a vehicle, the driver has a right to refuse a test that would measure the amount of alcohol in blood.

However, the refusal itself could lead to DUI charges, because by driving, the driver does agree to complying with a blood alcohol test. If a driver does not agree with the test, the consequence may be loss of driving privilege for up to 3 years, based on the number of re-occurring instances of DUI.

If the court confirms the charges of drunk driving, the penalties are more severe. Based on the number of repeated instances of DUI in Florida, the jail time can be up to 5 years with a fine of $5,000 and the loss of driving privileges for 2 years, if the crime occurred three times.

In addition to prison time, fines and loss of driving license, there are additional consequences of a DUI conviction, which can influence the rates of car insurance or mandatory meetings.
