What Does Intoxicated Mean?

A person need not be drunk to be "intoxicated" but a person who is drunk must be intoxicated. "Intoxicated" is defined by the DWI statute in two ways. First, a person is "intoxicated" when she drives and, when, through the use of an alcoholic beverage, drug, controlled substance, or any combination thereof, has lost the "normal" use of either her "mental" or "physical" faculties. Second, a person is "intoxicated" when she drives and has an alcohol concentration of .08 or more in her body.
