In most of the US we have laws against driving while impaired and alcohol creates a rebuttal presumption that you (details vary by state). Since it is the most common cause of impairment we dumb it down to "drunk driving" for the media. Any medicine that has one of those little stickers on it saying may cause drowsiness and warns against driving or operating heavy machinery ( you know those taken by 50 percent of those over 50, 70 percent of those over 70) puts you at risk.

I can't believe the county is attempting prosecution given the complete lack of any evidence.
