Arkansas law establishes two primary criminal misdemeanor offenses for drunk driving: DWI and DUI. The DWI law applies in most cases. This is the law that makes it illegal for anyone over age 21 to drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or more, or to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs (even if your BAC is not 0.08 percent).
Arkansas' DUI law applies to underage drivers. Known as a "zero tolerance" law in other states, Arkansas' DUI law prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from driving with a BAC of between 0.02 and 0.08 percent.
