What is 'DUI charge'?
Two days ago, Nashville police arrested Kazemi on a DUI charge while driving a 2007 Escalade registered to her and McNair. McNair was in the front seat, but didn’t break the law and was allowed to leave by taxi.

Question

Answer

Yes, it is similar to "drunk driving".  But DUI -- Driving Under the Influence -- is a technical / legal term, which means that a person has a certain amount of alcohol in their system at the time they were driving.  Different people are more or less affected by alcohol at this "legal limit".

I don't drink, so I am not advocating for drinking and driving!  I am just pointing out that DUI doesn't mean the person driving was completely drunk and swerving all over the place, etc.

Answer

Driving under influence, like drunk driving.
