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.

You seem to have more than one question. Let me try to answer it for you. It may not be what you want to hear.\n\nFirst since I do not know what state you are in, I am going to go by the laws in my home state, Kentucky. \n\nThe State has one year to bring charges in a misdemeanor case which applies here. Even though your daughter was not actually driving the car, she was in control of the car. Yes I know, I think it is silly too, but most states have said that if a person is in a automobile even if it is not running, they are in control of that automobile. \n\nThe problem with drugs verses alcohol in a DUI case is that drugs can remain in your system for 30 days or more. Therefore it is very hard to prove that you were actually impaired when the offense took place. \n\nHowever, police can cite "probable cause" based on blood work taken at the time of the incident. \n\nProbably the police aren't saying that she was arrested on 7/25 but that the incident occurred on 7/25. \n\nThis is my advice to you. Get an attorney. He or she should be able to argue that it is impossible to prove that she was impaired because no motor skills tests were given and she had presence of mind to know that she was too sleepy to drive. Meth does not cause a person to be sleepy! The opposite is true. Therefore it would be hard to prove that she was under the influence of meth at the time. \n\nGood luck to you and your daughter.

Unopened, meaning the seal isn't broken, yes if you're old enough to possess alcohol.  No if your underage.

The question is a little vague, but here goes:\n\nAs the former poster said, you're an "adult" at 18 in California.  You can enter into contracts, buy cigarettes, and be housed in county jail when you break the law.  However, you cannot purchase or consume alcohol, or drive a motor vehicle with any alcohol in your blood.  You can vote, and you can enlist in the military (think many of these things are the same in all states).\n\nAt 21, you can purchase and consume alcohol, and it would even be legal for you to drive with less than a .08% blood alcohol level (except in a few situations).  Right off the top of my head, the only difference between the two ages is the 21 year old can buy booze...there may be others, but they're escaping me at the moment.

There ARE none. You are confusing doctor/patient confidentiality with attorney/client privelage. If substance abuse is in medical records or police records, they are available to the proper authorities. They are NOT accesable by the general population however. Minors DO get a higher level of protection under the law seeing as they are in fact....MINORS. =)

There are different def. of age in different laws.  For example, in Texas, anyone 17 years old is an adult for normal crimes.  However, the Family code defines a juv is anyone under 18.  So does the education and government code.  The Health and  Safety code defines a minor as anyone under 21 (that's the one that deals with alcohol.) \nLike it was said before, each state and federal law is different.

For minor in possession, officers do not need to give a breath test or sobriety test. The officers can just smell the cup for an alcoholic beverage. From your story the officers definitely have probable cause to believe your son was in possession of alcohol.\n\nAfter an arrest, officers are allowed to search the subject and the area within the subject's immediate control to discover weapons, evidence or any items that can be used to escape.\n\nAlso officers do not need to read a subject his Miranda rights unless they are questioning him while in custody. Officers are allowed to ask general question to determine what has occurred and whether a crime has occurred. Miranda also does not apply to basic information such as name, address, date of birth.\n\nThe mistake on the ticket will not affect the officer's case unless he made several others. This mistake will be considered a good faith error.\n\nYour son appears to be guilty and the officers appear to have operated within the law. I would try to get a diversion if this is available in your area.

In most states it is 18, otherwise a parent or guardian would need to sign for the person.

The drinking age is 18 in some places too!\n\nI have not heard of that new law.

As far as the law is concerned, you will likely be charged with posession at least, but possibly public drinking/drunkenness as well. As far as the school is concerned, you will likely be recommended for expulsion.

yes, if you are a minor in possession    , serving alcohol to minors,etc. the list goes on

Contrary to popular belief, few states specifically prohibit minors' consumption of alcohol in private settings.\n\nAs of 2005, 15 states do not specifically ban underage consumption and an additional 15 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws.\nFederal law explictly provides for religious, medical, employment and private club possession exceptions; as of 2005, 31 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage possession laws.

NO, Since you are under the age of 21 you would be charged with possestion of alcohic beverage by a minor.\n\nI am sure that you are not refering to rubbing alcohol.

1. How many drinks they must have drunk depends on what was consumed, how quickly it was consumed, and individual metabolism. So that's not a very answerable question.\n\n2. Low level is 0.0, or no alcohol. 0.8-1.0 is the legal limit for DUI in most states.\n\n3. Try http://www.ou.edu/oupd/bac.htm for more information.

Here is the Nevada law on that:\nNRS 62C.010  Grounds for taking child into custody; notification of parent or guardian of child and probation officer; release or further detention of child.  Except as otherwise provided in this title and NRS 484.383:\n\n      1.  A peace officer or probation officer may take into custody any child:\n\n      (a) Who the officer has probable cause to believe is violating or has violated any state or local law, ordinance, or rule or regulation having the force of law; or\n\n      (b) Whose conduct indicates that the child is in need of supervision.\n\n      2.  If a child is taken into custody:\n\n      (a) The officer shall, without undue delay, attempt to notify, if known, the parent or guardian of the child;\n\n      (b) The facility in which the child is detained shall, without undue delay:\n\n             (1) Notify a probation officer; and\n\n             (2) Attempt to notify, if known, the parent or guardian of the child if such notification was not accomplished pursuant to paragraph (a); and\n\n      (c) Unless it is impracticable or inadvisable or has been otherwise ordered by the juvenile court, the child must be released to the custody of a parent or guardian or another responsible adult who has signed a written agreement to bring the child before the juvenile court at a time stated in the agreement or as the juvenile court may direct. The written agreement must be submitted to the juvenile court as soon as possible. If the person fails to produce the child at the time stated in the agreement or upon a summons from the juvenile court, a writ may be issued for the attachment of the person or of the child requiring that the person or child, or both, be brought before the juvenile court at a time stated in the writ.\n\n      3.  If a child who is taken into custody is not released pursuant to subsection 2:\n\n      (a) The child must be taken without unnecessary delay to:\n\n             (1) The juvenile court; or\n\n             (2) The place of detention designated by the juvenile court and, as soon as possible thereafter, the fact of detention must be reported to the juvenile court; and\n\n      (b) Pending further disposition of the case, the juvenile court may order that the child be:\n\n             (1) Released to the custody of a parent or guardian or another person appointed by the juvenile court;\n\n             (2) Detained in a place designated by the juvenile court, subject to further order of the juvenile court; or\n\n             (3) Conditionally released for supervised detention at the home of the child in lieu of detention at a facility for the detention of children. The supervised detention at the home of the child may include electronic surveillance of the child.\n\n      4.  In determining whether to release a child pursuant to this section to a person other than a parent or guardian, the juvenile court shall give preference to any person who is related to the child within the third degree of consanguinity if the juvenile court finds that the person is suitable and able to provide proper care and guidance for the child.\n\n      (Added to NRS by 2003, 1054)

im not positive about illinois, but i got arrested for underage drinking when i was 17 and i only got $100 fine, and had to go to a group court alternative. if it a happened again though i would get $250 fine, 250 hours community service and counceling and my lisense taken away till i was 21. i hope that gives you an idea, if not just call the juvenile court in your area and ask.
