Underage DUI

When an adult of legal drinking age (21 or older) is arrested for DUI in Utah, the state has two ways of proving the crime of drunk driving. First, the state may show that the adult had a BAC over .08. The other way is to show that the driver was incapable of driving safely as a result of intoxication.

Because it is very difficult to prove that a person is incapable of driving safely, the state usually has to depend on a BAC of over .08 to obtain a conviction in a DUI case.

However, it is different in an underage DUI case. When an adult under the age of 21 is arrested for DUI (driving under the influence), all the state has to show is that they have some level of alcohol in their system. Technically, just a single drink or even a single swig of beer could be enough for an underage DUI conviction.
