Lawyer up hard. Spend some money on it. A few thousand dollars.
Was the person over 21? That makes a big difference.
It might not "go away", but the charge can be lessened to something like "Reckless driving with alcohol" or something.
FWIW, to those "career is over" types (even though I know this isn't the OPs concern", a good buddy was just hired at SWA with a DUI. Resume was pretty straightforward, nothing extravagant. Yes, better to not get one, but your career isn't over.

And as PotatoChip mentioned, neither had stellar/over the top resumes.
