Here on Brazil DUI is just DUI...

Unless you cause a accident, then you can get attempted murder, or murder (depending on the outcome).

Then people will say: "Oh, but the driver had no intention to murder someone." here the most common argument from the judge is: "someone that knows that driving under influence is dangerous and do it anyway, is taking full responsability for the fact that it might accidentally kill someone, thus it is not accidental, since the person is on purpose gambling away with other people lives."
