Furnishing Liquor or Imitation Liquor to a Minor\n\nIt is a criminal offense for any person, adult or minor, to furnish liquor or imitation liquor to a minor, or allow a minor under that person's control, or in any place under that person's control, to possess or consume liquor or imitation liquor. This offense may result in fines from $500 to $2,000 and/or a jail sentence from 6-12 months. If an injury or death occurs, the person responsible for furnishing the alcohol may be charged with a felony.

That's very broad, and the laws really vary from state to state.  But generally speaking, at least in many areas, the owner of a bar is liable of they "knowingly" serve alcohol to someone who is "obviously/visibly intoxicated" and that person proceeds to injure someone.  The difficulty is proving the bartender should have known this guy was so intoxicated; it hinges a lot upon eye witnesses and other factors such as BAL.  Many plaintiff attorneys will argue that if the BAL was X%, then he must have been obviously intoxicated.  Expert testimony is also often a huge part of a trial.  Ex: If this person was plasterd, wobblin around and they served him another drink and then this person subsequently left the bar and on his way home swerved and killed someone, the estate or family of the deceased could sue the bar, if they could prove the above facts.\n\nThat's the general shtick.  I could go into much more, but hope this get's what you're looking for.

18\nIf you're old enough to marry or to go to war and kill (or get killed) for your country, you definitely should be able to decide for yourself whether you want to get one glass or drunk. It may be bad for you, but so are many things that are legal.

It's over twice the legal limit for driving in most states.\n\nI think it corresponds to about 9 drinks in a short period of time for an average-sized male, so that seems rather low to be arrested for public intoxication.

The wrecking, which has been already mentioned, and this can happen with anyone drinking or otherwise.\n\nDepending on age, you can be charged with contributing to delinquency if you are older and knowingly let them drive, or have your license suspended for allowing an unlawful driver.\n\nAnything they may foolishly do, drinking or not, you become involved in. If they commit a felony, you can become an accessory and be charged with equal penalties.\n\nYour status changes slightly depending on whether you are licensed or unlicensed. A person who holds a license carries a little more responsibility than one who doesn't.

I have to say I'm not completely clear on what your question is.  \n\nSo you were drinking with some cops.  How does that change any of the facts of this situation?  A) you are underage and drinking and, B) you were driving, right?  Whether you were drinking with cops, doctors, lawyers, or your mother, you were still drinking and driving.  Just don't understand why the cop thing comes into this, so if I'm missing something, please explain it so I can understand it better.  \n\nThen it gets even more confusing for me.  You got two tickets; one for DUI and one for underage drinking.  But you blew under the limit on the portable machine, and invalid at the station.  So what you've said is that there is no chemical test that shows you were over the legal limit, right?  If that's the case, I'm not sure how or why you were cited for DUI, since there doesn't seem to be any proof that you were..and there seems to be proof that you weren't (your first test was under the limit).  There are ways a person can still be DUI even though they are under the limit, but you didn't talk about any of those things so I'm assuming they don't apply in your case.  \n\nDavega7 has some valid points, but I can assure you the DUI charge is harsher in California.\n\nlll_oo_legend_oo_lll would have you think that you might "have a case" because you were drinking with cops, but I still don't see what kind of case you'd have or how your choice of drinking partners has anything to do with your possibly illegal behavior.\n\nsdatary has some VERY valid points about relying on advice from Yahoo! users.  This forum really does not lend itself to the kind of interaction you need for legal counsel.  And I would agree with his/her comment about your possible concerns with the ethics of the officers you were drinking with, assuming they knew you were twenty and assuming they had some duty to find that out.  When I go to a bar off duty, it's certainly not my job to make sure everyone I might drink with is of legal age...it's the bartender's.\n\njkheavy2000 is offering some fairly poor advice (that you didn't ask for anyway) but he/she says it's from their attorney and it certainly sounds like something an attorney would say.  Most states have laws that require you to submit to a chemical test if you're arrested for DUI so you can choose to follow the law or not, it's pretty much up to you.  Some states allow for a blood test against your will, so it's possible you might even end up taking a test anyway and if so, your refusal will likely be used against you in court and result in more fines and/or jail time.  \n\nBut you want to know about your recourse in court.  Well, it would probably be helpful to know what state you're in.  Even then, without knowing more of the details of this situation, it's likely going to be difficult for anyone to give you a good answer to this question.  Ultimately, your decision regarding what you want to do in court should be based on what you are charged with.  Just because you received two tickets does not necessarily mean that the prosecutor will decide to charge you with both crimes...and there's too much missing information to be able to guess what you might be charged with.  Once you know what you're going to be charged with, you should decide (perhaps after talking with an attorney) if you did the thing you're being accused of, and if you did, if you want to just accept responsiblity for it and plead guilty or try to change the outcome by contesting the matter.  I don't know if that's what you're looking for when you talk about recourse, but that's what I got from the question.\n\nIf you're asking about recourse because you were drinking with cops and you don't feel it's right that you got busted at some point later in the evening, I'd go back to what I said before; I just don't get t

Typically most state dram shop acts provide for liability only if the person served was "visibly intoxicated" when served.  Under that standard, probably.

None! It is a Felony and it will show on there record.  Anyone that receives a DWI regardless of what state they live in should respect the lives of others on the road.  They should not put people, including myself in danger of a crash just because they thought it would be alright to drink and drive.

Michigan\n\n2006  House Bill 6124\nUnder current law, adults caught providing alcohol to minors may do some time in jail and pay light fines. Under the proposed law, adults can also have their driver’s license suspended for 90 days, which is the same penalty for underage drinkers. This has been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary.\n\nA defendant has the right to try to prove that he or she reasonably believed that the minor was of legal age.\n\nAs far as driving with someone under the influence, besides being foolish and dangerous, nothing legal can be held again you. Of course, that is as long as they are not a minor.

There are references in the Bible against drunkenness.  I can't think of anything off the top of my head in the Bible that forbids controlled drinking.\n\nHere are a list of references from the Bible, as well as other scriptures, concerning drunkenness:  http://scriptures.lds.org/tgd/drnknnss.\n\nI do, however, believe that drinking is a sin, except in the case of partaking of the sacrament.

Location means a lot to the question.  In Canada most police make you dump the beer or alcohol if not causing a nuisance or throwing empty bottles around, cause they understand we all mostly have done it once.  But if you cause trouble in Canada it is ussually a charge of disturbing the peace, and or a ticket for drinking under age.  If disturbing the peace the sentance is usually a peace bond for 6 months and community service and if the teen obeys and keeps the peace then usually the record is esponged but that is Canada

It is not a Milwaukee law, but rather a Wisconsin state law that allows underage persons to drink if with a parent, guardian, or spouse that is of age.
