Legal Question in DUI Law in Utah

Minor in Possession and Consumption questions

I recieved a minor in possession and

a minor in consumption charge the

other night. I am 17 and live in

Texas. These two seperate charges

seem kind of redundant to me

because if you are in consumption of

alcohol odds are you are in

possession too. Anyway to my

question. I have a friend who

recieved a minor in possession and

then a few months later a minor in

consumption. I recieved both of

them on the same night. Are our

charges the same? Does it count as

two strikes for me? Will I have to pay

twice as much and do twice as much

community service as if I only got

one charge? Thanks for the help
