If you are found guilty of any alcohol or drug-related driving violation, the court must revoke or suspend your license at the time of your sentencing. The license itself will be taken immediately, even if the court allows the person a 20-day continuation of driving privilege.

In NYS, a conviction that either alcohol-related or drug-related remains on a person's driver record for exactly 10 years. If a driver is convicted of the same violation during that 10 year period, the motorist can receive additional penalties.
