It used to be that Underage Alcohol Possession or Under 21 Alcohol by a Minor was resolved with a "Pour it out." Now a days, depending on the police department or the sheriff's office, the same offense can lead to an actual arrest, being taken to jail, being fingerprinted and a criminal record for a Minor in Possession of Alcohol.
Underage Possession of Alcohol/ under 21 Possession of Alcohol/ Minor in Possession of Alcohol
Under Georgia Law, Possession of Alcohol by a Minor does not require the person to have a beer in their hand or a six pack in the trunk. If fact, many people are convicted due to the officer’s testimony and description that the defendant appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. In Internal Possession of Alcohol, Under 21 Alcohol Possession or Under 21 Consumption charges, it is important to understand your options.
