It depends on who you are, your relationship to the minor, and where it was given.
Maryland's state law has several exceptions to the crime of "Furnishing for or allowing underage consumption."
- If you are at a private residence and you are part of that minor's immediate family.
- If the minor is an employee at a place with a liquor license, and the minor is not drinking it, just handling it.
- If the minor is participating in a legally recognized religious ceremony (such as Catholic Communion).
If any of those things are true, it is not a crime. If not, then it is a civil offense and the the fine can be up to $2,500 for a first-time offender. Repeat offenders can face a fine of up to $5,000. These are maximum fines allowed by law, not fixed amounts. The true amount for any given offender is up to the judge.
