My son is 19. He had a 12 pack of beer in his vehicle that someone bought for him at a gas station. After leaving the gas station, he was pulled over and given a ticket for minor in possession. I would like to know what the charges are and do I need to get a lawyer? Can he loose his license? Does this go against his license?

My advice to you would be to call the clerk's office and ask them. I'm sure it depends on what town it was. My friend only had to pay a fine when she was charged with a MIP. I believe it is only a misdemeanor. You might be able to negotiate and instead of the fine get community service or something.

the ticket has a court date when he goes to court they will tell him what the fine will be as for his license if he had not been drinking the beer i wouldn't think so.my son is 21 and had the same thing happen even though he is legal age he got a ticket for possession went to court got a fine nothing else happened but if you are worried contact a lawyer they can tell you

You need to consult an attorney or go to legal aid. You might try looking up your state's criminal statutes to see if you can find the answer to this.
