In Oregon we have DUII driving under the influence of intoxicants which can be any intoxicant. It used to be DWI driving while intoxicated but I think it has since been replaced by DUII to cover a broad range of intoxicants. I do know that if you have restrictions on your license like wearing glasses and you get pulled over they can cite you for driving while impaired.
You can have no alcohol and be charged by the officer's discretion. They usully will get you on film though when doing these type of saturation patrols.
When an officer sees you leave a bar that will be used against you and they will interview the bartender to see how many drinks you had.
And no cupman I have never had a DUII.

Ability impairment can be assessed via behavioral and cognitive tests -- the same sort of tests that police use now when they suspect someone is driving under the influence of alcohol. The breath-test measures how much alcohol is in a person's system, but impairment is judged by functioning. If someone fails these impairment tests, biochemical analysis can determine if the assessed impairment is due to a specific substance. But, from what I can remember, "driving while ability-impaired" (DWAI) is an offense that does not require the person to have a measured amount of a substance in their body that leads to the impairment. I think a person can get a DWAI from sleep deprivation if that is causing their driving abilities to be reduced, but I'm not sure.
