  1. I suppose if you get a DUI in SC you can invoke this law as your defense and have the judge declare the beverages you consumed to be nonalcoholic and nonintoxicating beverages under SC law 61-4-10 dismissing the charge.


    SECTION 61-4-10. Nonalcoholic beverages defined.

    The following are declared to be nonalcoholic and nonintoxicating beverages:

    (1) all beers, ales, porters, and other similar malt or fermented beverages containing not in excess of five percent of alcohol by weight;

    (2) all beers, ales, porters, and other similar malt or fermented beverages containing more than five percent but less than fourteen percent of alcohol by weight that are manufactured, distributed, or sold in containers of six and one-half ounces or more or the metric equivalent; and

    (3) all wines containing not in excess of twenty-one percent of alcohol by volume.
