Question

Answer 1

You were there, that's enough for you to be charged.  First offense will be a fine and a record with most of the fine suspended.  Probation for a while.

Answer 2

Were you charged with Underage Consumpsion or Underage Possession? If you were charged with possession, there's not a lot you can do about it. If you were charged with consumption, then without a brethalizer test, there is no proof that you had been drinking. My son was in the same situation a couple of years ago. He HAD been drinking and was charged. He paid a fine, was given a suspended jail sentence and put on probation. But there were other kids there who had not been drinking and they were not charged.

Answer 3

Pay the ticket. You can try and fight it, but that takes away from your time. I'd just pay the fine and get it done with.
