More details to this question:
Will I get approved for fiancé visa if I have 3 DUIs in the past, because I’m trying to get my girlfriend here in US? I just want to know if I get approved, because I’m worried about my 3 DUI, if it will affect the status for the fiancé visa.

Generally, the petitioner or person sponsoring the fiancee's criminal history is not an issue therefore your 3 DUI should not matter.

If the DUIs are for the US citizen petitioner, it will probably not make any difference in your fiance visa petition so dont worry.

It does not but however, I recommend you quit drinking and driving to be safe and keep your future wife and your community safe.

Only the visa applicant must show a clean record, not the sponsor.

This will be an issue. The I-129f application states you cannot file a K1 if you have had 3 incidents related to alcohol or drugs (not from one incident). This may be waived, but you need to document it and read the I-129f instructions carefully.

Your DUIs will not affect her fiance visa.
