Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

I was recently charged with Providing Alcohol to Minors (12-47-907 (1)(a.5)(I)). While being questioned, the officer asked if I had provided the alcohol, and my response was "Kind of..." This will be the major area of contention.

I said that I did not buy the alcohol, but that I had been drinking with them in my apartment. So, I have two questions:

If minors brought the alcohol to my apartment, and we drank together there, would I be incriminating myself in a worse crime, like Hosting Underage Drinking Party, or is it best to just take the provision charge?

Also, if my friends testify that I did not buy the alcohol, how far will the DA go to proving my guilt (interrogation, phone records, etc.)?

First and foremost, quit talking before the DA gets inspired and charges you with the felony offense of Contributing to the Delinquency.

You need to consult, in private, with an attorney.
