Although the legal blood alcohol limit (BAC) in Minnesota is .08, you can still receive a DWI for a lower BAC if you are a commercial driver or under the age of 21.

Depending on the details of your arrest, the state may charge a DWI as a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony. Misdemeanors carry up to one year of jail time, while felonies carry at least one year.
