if you write "no" next to the moral turpitude question on your visa waiver form, you may well get away with it. however, if they find you out, you'll be straight back to the UK on the next plane & no comebacks.

so you need to assess the risk of losing your holiday, particularly since you've plenty of time to get a visa. see http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Travel/Question 289769.html

Drink driving is not a crime of 'Moral Turpitude', and hence you can tick no, and quite legitimately seek to enter the US under the Visa Waiver Programme. See the link to the US Foreign Affairs Manual (Visas), in the top post of this thread.

'Getting away with it' and being 'found out' do not apply, when you have filled in the I94-W perfectly correctly.

Too many people are scared into applying for a visa for the US, when they do not need one.

Good luck!
