So he made me do a soberity test ( while i was bleeding from me head) he also made me do i breatholizer ( how ever you spell it). Well he didnt tell me what i got on it or nething then he searched through my car n found an floded up old empty 30 pack under my passengers seat ( which has been there for 2 months scence the last time i drank) he read me my rights and put me under arrest. He took me to the hospitel n i got a blood taken . I didnt get any tickets they didnt bother to kall my parents to tell them i went to the hosptel and i have a concussion from the accident. The people that t boned me n the nurse who looked at my head didnt think i had anything to drink

Point blank, you told the cop you were drinking. They proved you were impaired from the sobriety test and breathalizer test. It doesn't matter what the hospital personnel say because from your own account to the police you were drinking and driving! You're lucky that you are alive.
Anyways, hire an attorney or call the public defender and don't drink and drive again and stop making excuses you could have cost someone's life by your actions straight up.

You need to hire a lawyer and do so quickly as in MO you have 15 days from the date of the offense to ask for an administrative hearing. If you fail ot do so your license will be revolked on that 15th day. But you need to get a lawyer to atleast find out what your overall charges are and the status of the accident.

You won't be excused from any trouble because you hit your head.
The charges will be because of the breathalyzer and blood test they took. I suppose you might have been able to challenge the sobriety test because of the head injury, but if you didn't pass the blood/breath tests then you should get the appropriate punishment for that. Looks like you will lose your license if you failed any of the tests.

Listen you have your whole life ahead of you...you are at a crossroads in life and you can either learn from this mistake or either continue in this direction and end up destroying not only your life but the lives of those who love you and not to mention all the people on the roads....everybody makes mistakes and i hope you choose to make responsible decisions....there is no life in the party life style...it may seem fun for a while but trust me soon trouble will follow...think smart and count your blessing you weren't hurt worse or someone else wasn't.....good luck....

your injuries do not excuse you from breaking the law. You need to learn to type in a legible manner if you want people to take you seriously.
As for the main question, in Missouri you will be charged with DWI (Driving while Intoxicated), there is no DUI law in Missouri.

Don't they teach you never to drink and drive in school? You do know you can kill other people doing that right?
