The charge does not require that you be drunk. Only in possession.

Yes you can, simply based on the cop's observations. Having said that, you should hire a lawyer and get this relatively minor charge dismissed.

Yes, you can be issued a ticket for MIP (minor in possession) or "under-age drinking" at a party even without a breathalyzer being administered.
