      (a) Driving under the influence of intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010, or its statutory counterpart in another jurisdiction.

      (b) A driving under the influence of intoxicants offense in another jurisdiction that involved the impaired driving or operation of a vehicle, an aircraft or a boat due to the use of an intoxicant, as defined in ORS 801.321, or a combination of intoxicants.

      (c) An offense in another jurisdiction that involved driving or operating a vehicle, an aircraft or a boat while having a blood alcohol content above that jurisdiction’s permissible blood alcohol content.
