It should not affect your friend's insurance so long as there was no accident or damage that results in a claim to your friend's insurance company. Your rates will likely go up once something goes on your driving record.

If convicted of a DUI or if your license is suspended administratively by the DOL, the driver will be required to provide proof of financial responsibility (SR-22) for a period of 3 years. A convicted driver will also have to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in any vehicle he/she intends to operate for at least 1 year if convicted of DUI.
