In Nevada, it is illegal for any person younger than 21 to possess alcohol in a public place. Any person who violates this statute will be charged with a misdemeanor and may be sentenced to up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. If the court chooses, it may suspend the above penalties and substitute a fixed period of community service for violation of this statute. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 202.020 and § 193.150 (2011).

The court has discretion on whether to charge the misdemeanor outlined above or to let the juvenile court deal with the charge. A third offense of this type could influence the judge negatively. If adjudicated delinquent in juvenile court of possession of alcohol by a minor, the person's driver's license will be suspended or delayed for 90 days to 2 years. The person may also be ordered to have alcohol evaluation, treatment, community supervision or service, and on-line classes for alcohol treatment or education. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 62E.620 and 62E.630.

Some cities and counties in Nevada have additional local ordinances prohibiting possession of alcohol by a minor (Carson City and Las Vegas are two).
