The results of the breath or
blood test will largely determine the charges brought and the possible
sentences. The so-called "per se" offense (driving over .08%) is
defined by the blood-alchohol level; the "DUI" offense (Driving Under
the Influence) is partially proven with a rebuttable presumption of
intoxication if the result is over .08%.
