Legally speaking in the USA anything after the first is driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).

I thought it was a matter of severity, with DUI being over the limit but not obviously impaired and DWI driving while there’s no doubt that you’re drunk, leading to more severe punishment?
There’s actually been a trend of shifting the language to “owi” or “operating while intoxicated” since the law is the same whether you’re operating a car, a bike, a boat or a dump truck
