“Driving under the influence” is often used officially.

Yes but why do they avoid using the term “drinking and driving”?

Because that does not quantify the amount. You can have one drink and be fine to drive but “driving under the influence “ means-you’ve had enough for it to effect your ability.

Is that the only reason?
