DWI law states that a person may not operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Note that “intoxicated” does not strictly mean drunk on alcohol. One can be considered intoxicated by two different criteria. An individual is intoxicated if he or she is driving and, through the use of any alcohol, drug, controlled substance, or some combination thereof, has lost “normal” use of his or her “mental or physical” faculties. An individual is also considered intoxicated if he or she has a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher while driving.

It is important to realize that “normal” faculties does not refer to any person other than the individual. In this case, normal represents a range of measurement of the defendant's faculties. In other words, you are not held to any standard other than what you are normally capable of.
