My son was charged with underage possession of alcohol in PA. The actual charge was written as "underage drinking", which I think is very unfair. He was offered to serve 20 hours of community service or take a 2 weekend alcohol "rehab" course at the cost of $100. He also lost his license for 90 days. Apparently this will remain on his driving record forever,but not his criminal record. Luckily, due to this being his first offense (and hopefully last!) he was eligible to apply for a limited occupational/school license. This allows him to drive himself to work and college only.
