You can receive a DUI for consuming which of the following?

Receiving a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) can occur from consuming any substance that impairs your ability to drive safely. This includes a variety of substances beyond just alcohol. Cough medicine is particularly relevant because many over-the-counter formulations may contain ingredients such as dextromethorphan (DXM), which can lead to impairments similar to those caused by alcohol or other drugs.

The key aspect is that certain cough medicines, when taken in large quantities or when containing intoxicating ingredients, can impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Therefore, consuming cough medicine that affects driving abilities makes it possible to be charged with a DUI.

It is important to be aware that not only alcohol but various prescription medications, even those you may not initially consider impairing, can lead to a DUI charge if they affect your driving skills. Additionally, the combination of substances poses a serious risk as they can interact and enhance impairments, making driving dangerous.
