You are at a minimum putting first responders at risk in the event something bad happens and a (dangerous) rescue is required.

Florida law defines DUI broadly, so it does not matter where you drive under the influence. It’s against the law.

The statute says that no type of vehicle may be operated by anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs anywhere “within this state,” including private property.
