yes, here is the information I found for the state of Maine. I provided the site in the source section below...\n\nThe Zero Tolerance Law\n\nFurnishing Liquor to a Minor\n\nAny person who furnishes liquor to a minor, or allows a minor under that person's control, or in any place under that person's\ncontrol, to possess or consume liquor, may be fined $2,000.00 and/or sentenced up to one year in jail. If the minor is less than\n14 years of age, or the violation is a second offense within six years, the fine shall not be less than $500.00. For any third or subsequent offense within six years, the minimum penalty is $1,000.00 fine and up to six months in jail.\n\nDrivers under 21 years with a BAC of .08 percent or more can be prosecuted for the criminal offense of OUI, but the license suspension must be for one year.\n\nIllegal Possession\n\nIt is a civil violation for any person under the age of 21 to possess liquor or imitation liquor except if it is within the scope of their employment or in their home in the presence of their parent. Fines for illegal possession are as follows:\n\n1st Offense: $100.00 to $300.00 \n2nd Offense: $200.00 to $500.00 \n3rd or Subsequent Offenses: $500.00 \n\nYouths 17 years or younger are charged with juvenile crime of illegal possession.

Dude, you can SO beat that in court. I hope you plead innocent. Get a lawyer. If you can't afford one, ask for a jury trial. By that time, the prosecutor will get a hold of you and try to get you to take a plea agreement. Try to get them to plead it down to a lesser charge (I dont know what that would be) and to have the record SEALED IMMEDIATELY. That means if a future employer looks at your criminal history, this offense won't show up. IF you can do that, then who cares if you get convicted or not? The fine will be minimal and you won't be serving any jail time. If you can't do that, go to trial. \n\nResearch this online more, but basically, they have no case whatsoever if they CANT proved that you were intoxicated. The burden of proof is on THEM, not you.\n\nNow..They COULD tag you with underage drinking if you are under 21, keep that in mind and plan you strategy accordingly

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.

They take it away, lock you up in shackles and chains, throw you in a dank and dirty dungeon with only a small shaft of dim light, feeding you only gristle, bread crumbs, and dirty latrine water. \nThey confiscate it and charge you with prohibitions, fraud, or something else, depending on your age and other circumstances. I wouldn't try it for a lousy drink...

That's a real shame.  You poor, poor, poor dumb ass alcoholic.  Ever consider calling a cab?  Worse yet is the fact that the state you live in allowed you to get 5 DUIs.  Where I'm from you will most times serve after your second.  The simple fact of the matter is that being as old as you are... it's already too late for you.  You will never change ever.  You have chosen to spend your life in a bottle chasing wiener half your age and half the time probably getting paid for it.  You say you have a good lawyer, so why post your question here?  In your reality is there going to be a magic answer on the Internet that is going to keep you out of jail?  I'm half your age and even I know that. Jeez.... I really hope you haven't procreated because if you have I'll bet they're proud of you now.  I'll bet you're proud of yourself.  Not once did you even mention being ashamed of yourself or consider what could have happened had you wrecked.  The best thing you can do for yourself is GO TO JAIL.  At least there you can't drink.  Maybe get yourself a little lesbian lover and spend your time planting flowers instead of graves.

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

I believe it's a felony punishable by prison time. Watch "Dateline NBC" next Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. I come from a community where 18 men were recently taken into custody for that very thing. You can see firsthand what the penalty is when they make their court appearances which will be aired next week.

Contact the state attorney generals office. I witnessed a CSP of minor and I'm a Federal Agent...if it would not of been for my testimony the offender could of easily walked. You owe it to the children to do everything in your power to lock that SOB up!!

Not true.  Only crimes of moral turpitude are ineligibilities.  Drinking near a store is just a crime of bad taste and silliness.

LOL @ sighted. Are you a UFO that was sighted by observers at Area 51? I don't think you'll go to jail for more than 16 months for giving alcohol to a minor. Just kidding! Maybe 15 months!

In most places in Ireland you could look after the wee'un, take it by the hand, look for parents in the vicinity and if none obvious bring it into the house, warm it up and give it a warm drink whilke you phonbed the Gardai. In the England I know you would definitely be reported and probably arrested. Even in the good ole USA they would not do that [I think?]

Unfortunately (for you) they can ban you for whatever reason they like.  The only way you could 'fight' the ban would be if you belived the motive behind the behaviour to be sexual, racial etc... even then its more hassel to you than its worth.  \nJust keep phoning you local police station and writing to your local council saying they are blatently serving alcohol to minors.  but that could be classed as 'nasty'

I think you mean Bear Creek H.S.   :)   If I was 17 again, I would love to go to Beer H.S., but definitely wouldn't want to send my kid there!\n\nHere is a link to a site that should give you all of the info on the H.S.

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.
