Each time that you are convicted of alcohol intoxication, the potential penalties increase. While alcohol intoxication is a relatively minor charge, if you are arrested again within a 12 month period, then your sentence will increase from a fine of at least $25 and no jail time to a fine of $25 to $100 and a jail sentence of 5 to 90 days.
In addition, if you are charged with alcohol intoxication three or more times, then a judge may choose to sentence you to a drug or alcohol treatment or education program. You will be required to participate in the program for up to 6 months and will have to pay for the cost of the treatment (to the extent that you are able to do so). If you fail to complete the program, you may be required to serve the original sentence imposed by the judge.
