it varies but i believe in a DWI they are generally speaking intoxication of alchohol and DUI as being under any substance that could cause serious harm to others while you are driving a car. even if you wreck on accident you are charged with failure to control operated vehicle

It varies from state to state, but generally, DUI is a less serious charge than DWI. In some states the difference is the alcohol level. That's why some folks refuse a breathalyzer - the will get a DUI charge for sure, but a breath test might put them over to the DWI. In other states, Texas for example, age can make a difference. If you are under 21 in Texas and have consumed ANY alcohol, you can be charged with a DUI.

I believe that some states call the same thing different names. I would think that it would be the difference in alcoholic content in the blood.

they are the same thing, dui is driving under the influence, and dwi is driving while intoxicated. they both mean the same general thing.

DUI is a broader term that can mean under the influence of any substance, ie. drugs, pot, prescription medicines, etc.

some states call it DUI some call it DWI



same is same
