What are the differences between a "wet and reckless" charge and a DUI charge?

A "wet and reckless" charge is a lesser offense than a DUI charge. It typically involves driving with some level of alcohol in the system but not enough to meet the legal limit for a DUI. A DUI charge, on the other hand, involves driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit, which is typically 0.08. The penalties for a DUI charge are usually more severe than those for a "wet and reckless" charge.
