DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
Birmingham DUI Laws :
Originally, the law said convictions had to take place within a five-year period. Later, this five-year criteria was amended out in some places but remained in others.

Drunk Driving :
Drunk driving is the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the U.S. The specific criminal offense is usually called driving under the influence [of alcohol and/or other drugs] (DUI), and in some states driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating while impaired (OWI), or operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). Such laws may also apply to boating or piloting aircraft.
