Under Oregon law, “under the influence” is defined as having one's physical or mental facilities are "adversely affected to a noticeable or perceptible degree” as the result of ingesting drugs and/or alcohol.
A DUII arrest will normally result in administrative (license related) penalties even if the person is never convicted in criminal court. And if the offender is ultimately convicted of a DUII, criminal penalties are imposed in addition to the administrative consequences.
