I'm not a DA- but I am SFST certified... there are two kinds of DUI- there's DUI Per Se, which is where, by statute, you're .08 BAC or above, then there is the subjective DUI where your ability is "impaired to a substantial degree" and does not require your BAC to be over .08 for the charges to be filed against the individual. The same can be applied to possession of a firearm, whereas initially it can be up to the discretion of any LEO involved, and then whether or not the case is taken by the DA's office. As per CRS 18-12-106(d), it doesn't state at what point one may be considered "under the influence", however, best not to push it, and to avoid any situation with the mixture of alcohol and firearms. Just my advice, it's free, so you do get what you pay for.
