If your 18 do you go to jail if you drink and get drunk?

Question

do you go to jail and get a record for misdem or felony? I'm here in Nevada I just want to be sure before I turn 18 and drink with my buddies... I know you go to jail if you're with under the age of 18... because I don't want to have a record....

Answer 1

At 18 you're legally an adult, so you'll definitely have a record if you get caught.

Answer 2

if you didn't know, the legal age is 21. so yeah, you would go to jail. it would be on your record and you will probably have to pay fines....

Answer 3

I dont understand? I have been drinking since I was 14 til now I am 24. I have never been to jail. and I get drunk.

Answer 4

Well underage drinking is underage drinking buddy =)

Come live in South Africa with me...its legal when your 18 ;)

Answer 5

You probably won't go to jail unless you're drinking and driving, but you WILL get a citation for an MIP (minor in possession or consumption). It is a misdemeanor and you will have to go to court, pay a fine and possibly take a class. It will go on your record, but it can be taken off in a few years if you don't have anymore offenses.

Answer 6

here in australia the legal age is 18 but no one follows it

we wonder around the streets with booze and **** and no one cares

Answer 7

I don't know about Nevada.  But here in Canada you would just get turned into your parents. I think it would be more of the person who bought you or gave you alcohol would be the one going to jail - but not for long.

Answer 8

Yes it dosent matter what age you are

Answer 9

I got an underage drinking when I was 17.  They took me to the police station, I had to call my parents to pick me up, and I got cited.  The people with us who were 18 were also taken to the station and given the option of staying overnight in a cell or having their parents pick them up and they were cited as well.

This was in Pennsylvania, but I can't imagine it would be much different anywhere else.

Answer 10
