Protecting You From Various Penalties

The penalties for underage drinking are steep. The specific consequences you could face depend on the circumstances of your individual case, such as previous convictions. If you are under the age of 21 and caught drinking, you could face the following penalties:

  • Mandatory licenses suspension
  • Fines as high as $500 for first offense

Your wallet and your ability to drive are only two of the ways an underage drinking offense can impact your life.
