The question was inspired by watching the movie Snow Dogs. There's a scene where the guy has sled dogs pulling his car down the street in Alaska. I wondered if it would be legal to do that drunk. He didn't have the vehicle turned on.

Alaska's DUI law specifically mentions a motorized vehicle. So you probably couldn't get a DUI on a horse, in a carriage, or with a dog sled, but if they were pulling your car with dogs then you might. The law doesn't specify the motor be on, or functional, just that it be a "motor vehicle".

I guess it would come down to the jury on that one.
