When running a background check on a potential employee, where would an incident of 'driving while impaired' show up? On a criminal record? Driving record? Or both? Also, how much does it impact your decision on whether or not to hire someone with this type of conviction? (assuming it is the only spot on their record, and the job does not involve any driving)

It would either show up on a driving record and/or a criminal background check.
My decision to hire would depend on when it was. You say you will not drive a company vehicle. That is fine. But if you continue to drive and drink, there is a potential for company liabilty (say if you leave a company function where there is alcohol served and you kill a small child and fail the Blood Alcohol test - a good lawyer will add the company especially if they have deep pockets).
So, it will depend on your maturity and how well you are now.
Me? I would rather hire a DWI than a Druggie, but that does not say if I found somebody equally qualified that does not carry baggage, I would pick you.

Were you charged with a felony? How did you plead? If you have a conviction it is going to show up.

it will show up on both....and depends on your qualifications and how many others applied with clean records.

It would show on both.I would worry about absenteeism if it was recent [within a year]
