underage drinking?

Question

what can happen if you are caught drinking at age 16 but its just a beer

Answer 1

rehab

Answer 2

You will most definitely get in trouble, here is what might happen you will get a $500 dollar fine and also get 40 hours of community service which means you will have to work for free. And you will also get probation for about 3 months. If you have a driver license permit it will be taken away. So think about it it's not really worth it you can put your self in a lot of danger even if you only drank one beer. One thing that I recommend is that you never take an open container from nobody even if you know the person. Why? Because now a days you can't even trust your best friend.

Answer 3

Penalties exist for underage persons who violate drinking laws
There are numerous laws in Illinois that apply to drinking. Buying beer or liquor is considered a privilege rather than a right. In Illinois, the drinking age is 21 for all alcoholic beverages. Some states have different ages for drinking beer and liquor.

Underage drinkers violate the law when they:

• Possess alcohol on a public street or in a public place;

• Drink alcohol, unless as part of a religious service or ceremony;

• Lie about their age to get alcohol;

• Occupy a residence and knowingly let someone under 21 possess alcohol;

• Rent a hotel or motel room, knowing that the room will be used for illegal drinking;

• Carry, make, obtain or copy a false identification card;

• Operate a motor vehicle with any alcohol in their system. Illinois' "Use It & Lose It"/zero tolerance law became effective on January 1, 1995. It set the acceptable blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level for drivers under the age of 21 at .00.

Penalties for violating the laws are stiff. For illegal possession, the fine can range from $500 to $2,500 or 364 days in jail. The use of a false I.D. card can lead to a fine of $25,000 or three years in jail.

Adults over age 21, who provide alcohol to or for minors, also violate the law and face criminal penalties. For the illegal sale or furnishing of alcohol to minors, there is a penalty of up to $2,500 and/or 364 days in jail.

Answer 4

More than likely, you will get a minor/underage consumption charge, no matter how much alcohol you have consumed. Depending on if you have previous offenses and on the judge, you could go to juvenile detention and trust me, that is not a place you want to be- it's basically jail for minors. It's not fun for a 16-year-old- you have no freedom. The solution to this- don't drink until you're 21 unless you're prepared for the consequences.

Answer 5
