Question

Answer 1

Not DWI, no.  The non drinking driver is what law enforcement calls a "designated driver" and very much encouraged by law enforcement.

Answer 2

DWI means DRIVING while intoxicated.  If you are not driving, how can you be guilty of DRIVING WI? Are you serious or just drunk?  Can I be charged with murdering my wife when she is not dead?
