Transporting alcohol by vehicle....?

Question

I'm 20 years old and I'm going to be driving a long distance (about 600 miles). My question is this: Is it illegal for someone over 18 (yet under 21) to transport unopened alcohol in the vehicle? I will be driving but I obviously won't be intoxicated.

Answer 1

It is illegal.  Minors are not allowed to be in possession of alcohol, opened, closed, in the body or in a container.

Answer 2

Yeah it's illegal to possess it if you're only 20.  The same deal as if someone had un-lit marijuanna.

Answer 3

Yes. If it is in your car you are in possesion of it. Possesion of alcohol under age 21 is a crime.

If you were over 21, however, it would not be.

Answer 4

Yes, transporting alcohol (or any possession) by a minor is against the law.

There is a legal term called "constructive possession". If you know it is there, and it is in an area you are in control of, you can be charged with it.  

Answer 5

as far as i know as long as it is unopened and in the trunk or back of a pickup it is ok.
