More details to this question:
A state cop drove by, turned around and pulled in my driveway. He told me I could get a DUI because I was operating a motor vehicle. I told him to get off my property. He issued me a warning and left. That was the only beer I had and it was 1/2 full.

You can get a DUI for driving a riding mower or bicycle but you have to be on a public road. As long as you are on your own property, you can drive any vehicle totally smashed as long as you don't commit some other crime like recklessly endangering another person.
