Drunk driving is a serious offense.

But it’s not criminal. Not even a felony, is it?

It is criminal/felonious depending on the circumstances.

Actually a DUI conviction is always criminal.

Look, I'm not interested in getting into an argument on the subject.

Recognize that my comment had to do with the scale of punishment (presumably indicative of seriousness) -- not with your individual perception of the crime.
