Question is, can I be prosecuted for a DUI after drinking since I am in a wheelchair? I heard of some getting one for being on a lawn mower and bicycle.

Depends on where you live, but around here anything with a combustion engine is fair game.... if it's electric you are OK (not including hybrid cars obviously). So as long as your wheelchair isn't gas powered you are probably safe. Have to check your local laws though.
For instance, in California they have a specific law that permits them to charge you for impaired operation of a bicycle on a highway. Apparently the punishment is less than that of what you would get in a regular vehicle though.
Sometimes around here the Amish get pulled over hammered in their horse-drawn wagons. They can't be charged with DUI since there is no motor, but they usually nail them for a host of other things like open liquor. :1orglaugh
