As long as PCA isn’t exceeding legislated limits.
DUI is ambiguous as it can be applied to drugs, medications etc.

Having a 'traveller' or six is definitely illegal in Vic.

My accountant got pinged for it 300m from where he bought the (YES 1) can.

AFAIK you're not allowed to eat or drink while driving here.

In Qld it is an offence to have open grog in a vehicle. Needs to be unopened and away from all occupants.

I often drive with the cruise control and GPS on, which warns me of exceeding the speed limit, and you'd be surprised how often it complains, so if a machine can't keep to the speed limit what chance has a mere human got?
