Your 0.7% doesn't help very much. First a minor is not allowed to have any detectable alcohol in his or her blood. Secondly, you could be charged with driving while intoxicated, even if your blood alcohol content is less than 0.8%. You could help yourself by retaining a skilled lawyer.

In California, if you are under 21 years old, the legal limit is .01 (extremely low). Anything over that and you can be charged under vc 23136 or 23140. Amongst other penalties can be looking at a 1 year driver license suspension even on a first. You can also still be charged for a dui under vc 23152(a) which does not require a .08 bac (unlike 23152b).

There is zero tolerance for persons under 21 and therefore you are correctly charged with DUI. Get yourself an attorney.

Legal limit for a minor is -0-. Any positive number and they are subject to arrest.
