Re: underage drinking

You did no clearly state what charge or charges have been filed against you. Without that detailed information, it is difficult to respond.

Since the police did not question you, there is no requirement for them to "read you your rights."

You should consult with an attorney who is familiar with the charges against you in order that you may make a proper decision.

Alcohol offenses may, in in some circumstances, have a negative impact on your ability to obtain funding for college, obtain a security clearance, or enter military service. These are not items which are addressed in the local court setting.
