Alabama DUI Laws & Penalties

In Alabama, a DUI is typically charged when a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher-or any level for drivers under 21. Penalties can range from fines and license suspension to jail time, depending on the number of prior offenses and other circumstances.
