The impairment can be due to lack of sleep or prescription drugs - not just alcohol or illegal drugs! You can be charged on a bicycle, on a horse in some states, any motorized vehicle, and soon, in space craft!     The accused and convicted impaired operator may face the immediate loss of driving privileges and licenses, vehicle impoundment, fines, rehabilitation & re-education classes, local jail or prison time, ignition interlock devices, and more.
