Underage Possession & Consumption of Alcohol – Atlantic, Ocean, & Cape May County Attorney
Alcohol seems to be a perennial rite of passage for young people. No matter what public education campaigns or laws are enacted to fight teen drinking, it still occurs amongst a certain percentage of youths. The police take the enforcement of underage alcohol laws very seriously whether the charges are:
- Underage alcohol possession
- Underage alcohol consumption
- Underage drinking and driving
- Possession of fake ID
- Underage possession of alcohol in a motor vehicle
These types of charges can lead to serious consequences such as:
- Detention or jail (for those over 18, but not yet 21 years of age)
- Suspension of driving privileges
- Community service
