Get a lawyer and fight. They have to prove that you had alcohol.

To be sighted for minor in consumption, they do not need a blood alcohol level. Without knowing the facts of your case, I cannot begin to tell you how to fight it in court..

The police don't have to do a breathalyzer test, if they believe you are acting intoxicated. You should hire an attorney to represent you in court to keep this off your criminal record.

You should hire a lawyer and get this relatively minor charge dismissed. By yourself you're going to get a criminal record, and it isn't worth it.

You have defenses according to your recitation of the facts, hire an attorney and fight the charges.

Retain a criminal defense attorney in the area that handles MIP or minor in possession cases. They will have to review the police report and all evidence to see if any argument can be made to dismiss the case. If not, a good attorney may be able to get you into the diversion program which upon successful completion, the matter will not appear on your public record.
