Caught drinking beer in car?

Question

Me and three friends, who are all 19 years old, just recently got caught with open alcohol in the car. I, the driver, was not drinking nor had an open beer but my three friends each did. The cops caught us right when we got there so they only had a few sips. I wasn't drinking because I was the designated driver and was just about to drop them off after they had some beers, the car was parked and off, I didn't consume any alcohol and they wrote the summons with a court date for under age possession of alcohol. Is there anyway this is going to affect my license or insurance?

Answer 1

well it depends in which state you live in... i believe your license does get in trouble because they wrote the summons towards you... unless you and your parents get a lawyer to fight this in order for your license to be protected...  

Answer 2

it will affect your license.  i bet judge will pull it for a few months.

Yes, you will get points because you were the driver of the car even though you did not consume anything.
