This enhanced offense is defined as operating with a alcohol content of 0.17 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine.

If convicted of this offense, you faced an enhanced Michigan drunk driving sentence, with the maximum jail sentence for a Super Drunk charge being 180 days along with a license suspension of 45 days and 320 days of driving with a restricted permit. You will also be required to have an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle during the restricted time period, and face possible vehicle immobilization or forfeiture.
