Yep, DUI Attorney is an idiot. Don't call him for assistance. You'll be wasting your money, OP.
UNDERAGE DRINKING
If you are under age 21, it is against the law to buy alcohol, drink alcohol, have alcohol in your possession or have
alcohol in the vehicle you are driving. Even if you are not driving, your driving privilege will be suspended if you are
under 21 years of age and are convicted of lying about your age to obtain alcohol, carrying a false ID card or
purchasing, consuming, possessing or transporting alcohol. In addition, if you are underage and are arrested and
detained for blood, breath and/or urine testing, parental consent to conduct these tests is not required, but the
police will notify your parents of the arrest.
The minimum penalties for underage drinking are as follows:
• A fine of up to $500 plus court costs.
• A 90-day suspension for the first offense.
• A one (1) year suspension for the second offense.
• A two (2) year suspension for the third and subsequent offenses.The courts may require you to be evaluated to determine the extent of your involvement with alcohol and may also
require you to successfully complete a program of alcohol education, intervention or counseling.
If you do not have a driver's license, you will be ineligible to apply for a learner's permit for the time period of the
suspension. If you are under 16 years of age, your suspension will not begin until your 16th birthday, provided you
acknowledge your suspension, and it is received any time prior to your 16th birthday.
In addition to serving a suspension, a restoration fee must be paid before your driverʼs license will be returned or
your application for a Non-Commercial Learner's Permit (DL-180) considered for processing.
ONE FACT REMAINS: It is against the law for anyone under age 21 to consume, possess or transport
alcohol. Again, remember, if you are cited for underage drinking, a motor vehicle
does not have to be involved for you to lose your driving privilege.DO NOT risk the consequences.
Adults, even parents, who are convicted of knowingly and intentionally supplying minors with alcohol are subject
to a fine of at least $1,000 for the first offense and $2,500 for each additional offense and face up to one year in
jail. Adults are even liable for guests who drink in their homes. If, for example, you had 17 teenagers in your home
for a party and they were drinking alcohol, the party could cost you $41,000. Thatʼs $1,000 for the first teenage
drinker and $2,500 for each of the other 16 drinkers.
