Assuming you were charged under this specific statute and there were no other charges, this is the applicable statute.
265-A:45 Transportation of Alcoholic Beverages by a Minor.
I. Notwithstanding RSA 265-A:44, II, no driver under the age of 21 shall, except when accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or legal age spouse, transport any liquor or beverage in any part of a vehicle. A driver violating this section may have his or her license or privilege to drive suspended for 60 days.
