What are some of the Laws for Drunk Driving / DUI / DWI in Maryland?

The legal Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) limit in Maryland is a BAC below .08% if you want to avoid being charged with a DUI in Maryland. The legal Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) limit in Maryland is a BAC below .07 if you want to avoid being charged for a DWI in Maryland.

A DUI (driving under the influence) in Maryland has harsher penalties than a DWI (driving while impaired) in Maryland.
