If you got pulled over for DUI in Alaska, the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream will be measured with a chemical test, otherwise known as Blood Alcohol Concentration. BAC level per se is .08 and above. Zero Tolerance Law is also in effect, which penalizes those who are driving under 21 years of age with BAC of .00 or with neglible BAC levels (.01 or .02 percent). Enhanced penalty BAC level is .16 percent. 

If you are suspected for DUI in Alaska and you refuse to submit yourself for a test, your license will be suspended for violating the Implied Consent Law. On your 1st offense, your license will be suspended for 90 days; 1 year for your 2nd conviction; 3 years for 3rd offense with mandatory jail time. The authorities will seize your vehicle also on your 3rd Alaska DUI offense. 

You must participate in an education and assessment program to reduce fines and penalties and possible restoration of driving privileges. It is also mandatory for alcohol-dependent drivers to participate in some form of treatment, counseling or support group.  

Possible installation of ignition interlock device is also in effect in Alaska, and you will be responsible for its overall expenses (cost of the installation and maintenance). Hardship license will be granted after 30 days, limiting you to drive only to work and back. You must demonstrate first "special hardship" to justify restoring privileges during suspension of your license.
