What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
On a friday night we were going to nashville to a concert for my birthday, two of my friends one the age of 21 which was the driver and hadn't been drinking, and the passenger who is 20 had been drinking, and myself in the backseat am 21 and had been drinking. There was a 12 pack of beer in the back seat with five open containers. The 20 yr old was charged for underage consumption, myself charged for contributing to a minor, driver charged with open container. The 20 yr. old was drinking before he even got in the car and didn't get the beer from me, what can we expect in court and it is the first time ever being in trouble at all. All go to college and 2 are in nursing school and one applying and what effect will it have? I dont want anything on my record, any help would be appreciated
