What does DUI Include? It is important to conduct some research and be informed about how certain drugs may affect your ability to drive. Driving under the influence is not only about alcohol, but also includes impairment from over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, and marijuana. While some celebrations may include alcohol, make sure to offer non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers.
