It details Georgia's DUI statute (O.C.G.A. Section 40-6-391), explaining distinct charge categories: DUI per se (BAC of 0.08 or above), DUI less safe (BAC below 0.08 or no test, but evidence of impairment), and DUI of drugs (including prescribed medications). The article notes that for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders, the BAC threshold is lower at 0.04, with federal implications.
