Arizona's DUI statutes are codified at ARS §28-1381 (impaired to the slightest degree, and BAC of 0.08+), §28-1382 (Extreme DUI at 0.15+ and Super-Extreme at 0.20+), and §28-1383 (Aggravated DUI — a felony triggered by a third offense within seven years, a child passenger under 15, a suspended license, or a required ignition interlock).

Arizona is a strict-liability state for DUI: you can be convicted with no accident, no erratic driving, and a BAC under the legal limit if the prosecutor proves "impairment to the slightest degree."

A first-offense standard DUI carries a mandatory minimum of 10 consecutive days in jail (9 suspended on completion of alcohol screening), 1-year driver's license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock, fines and surcharges exceeding $1,500, and 8 points on your driving record. Extreme DUI raises the minimum to 30 days. Super-Extreme to 45 days. Aggravated DUI is a Class 4 felony with a presumptive 4-month state prison sentence.
