Probation violation usually mean you go back to jail to serve out the sentence they allowed you to be set free on under the conditions which have now been nullified by the violation.

This is an impossible question to answer. I only say this because it is totally up to his probation officer. If he gets a hard a s s he could end up serving his entire sentence. If his PO is decent, he could only have his probation extended with a warning to not let it happen again. If his PO doesn't give a ****, nothing might happen. In this case, his PO is judge, jury and executioner, when it comes to deciding what is going to happen to him from here on out. Cross your fingers, but if he is in jail already, it doesn't look good.

A lot depends on the district attorney, judge and probation department. What is supposed to happen is that the probation is terminated as unsuccessful and he has to do the time that he was originally sentenced to.
When you hear someone say they got probation with five years suspended. Basically if they screw up they are looking at doing the five years.

If no alcohol was in his conditions, then he would be sent to jail and probably serve his original sentence in full. This however, does depend on the judge at his discretion

The fact it was his first violation was probably what got him the benefit of being on probation in the first place.
All bets are probably off, now.

Probation cancelled and you go back to jail.

It could be the remainder of his probation. If he has six years left he could get six years.

they automatically revoke it on you and then they make you spend the rest of your time in jail until your time is all taken care of that originally put you in jail

If the court said, "Don't be drinking alcohol," and he said, "Screw you, court - I'll do what I please," the court will probably revoke his probation and send him to jail.
