Neff, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I dissent from that part of the majority opinion which resolves the conflict created by People v Jerovsek, 172 Mich App 489, 491; 432 NW2d 350 (1988), and People v Reyna, 184 Mich App 626, 628; 459 NW2d 75 (1990). I find Jerovsek more persuasive and would hold that no remand is necessary.
*713As noted by the Jerovsek panel, the official United States pharmacopeia recognizes alcohol as a drug. Second, the second edition of the Michigan Sentencing Guidelines, unlike the first edition, contains no list of scorable misdemeanors. Finally, I find the fact that the drug offenses and the ouil offenses fall within different codes to be an insufficient distinction for determining whether ouil offenses should be scored as prior misdemeanors.
In all other respects, I concur in the majority opinion.
