What is the difference between DUI and DWAI in Colorado?

In Colorado, the blood-alcohol content (BAC) threshold for DUI is .08, whereas the DWAI legal limit falls into the .05-.08 range. Penalties for a conviction of either charge are severe. You may also be charged with driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) if you are suspected of driving while impaired on prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
