2 years.
Re: time untill charged with a dui
Mr. Pascal already stated there is a 2 year look-back period. Two other comments - 1) "let sleeping dogs lie", and 2) worry AFTER you know there is something to worry about.
Actually, I have a thinrd thing to say... See that your friend gets help so he does not drink and drive again. I hope one one else was hurt. Personally I can accept the consequences of my actions if I hurt myself, but I would have trouble living with hurting someone else.
