No.
No it is a misdemeanor in the state of Mississippi.
It differs depending on which state you're on. Most States have an underage possession or consumption violation that usually carries a fine and may impact your driving privileges.
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.
Were you caught? Depends on the state.
If you're of legal drinking age, and have a closed container in your vehicle, none. Open containers and/or underage possession are different matters, however. Three months to one year tends to be the default - it can vary by state.
no u cant
It means that, if you are underage, ANY traceable amount of alcohol in your system while driving is considered a DUI, even if it is under the state and federal legal limit.
Depends on the State you reside in. Every State and city has their own statutes on Minors in Possesion of alcohol. Sauce(myself) state of Pa.
Except for the underage possession of alcohol charge, your age is of no relevance - you are legally an adult. There are no set punishments or sentences for criminal offenses. The court must consider the relevant state law, the facts and circumstances of the offense, and any other mitigating or aggravating factors surrounding the offense. In most (all?) cases, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and minor in possession of alcohol are both misdemeanors. Typically, these crimes are not punished harshly, but generally bring about a fine, community service, and/or probation. However, even as misdemeanors, they can each be punished by up to 12 months in confinement.
You could have drank it somewhere , like another state, gone into another state and been charged with and MIP in the second state for having the alcohol in your system.
Yes, underage drinking is a misdemeanor. It is considered a MIP, Minor in possession. In the state of Michigan, both are misdemeanor's.
Yes, a minor in possession of alcohol charge in New York State can go on your record. However, New York offers diversion programs for some first-time offenders, which may allow them to complete certain requirements and have the charge dismissed without it appearing on their record. It is best to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance regarding individual cases.
