Please understand that a conviction of underage drinking may have driver's license implications for you even if you were not in a vehicle at the time of the offense. This is a situation, like most others, where you should not attempt to defend yourself. You should contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible to review your options and help you provide your best defense.
