| Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor |
Providing alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age (21) is a very bad idea. Anyone, regardless of their age, who supplies someone under the age of 21 alcohol can be charged with a misdemeanor and can be fined in excess of $3,000, depending on the circumstances. Those under 21 who engage in this conduct are NOT immune to the law. They too can be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you have been arrested or cited under this law, you should consult a qualified lawyer. Doing otherwise can cause serious damage to your career future and academic future.
