Underage Drinking In North Carolina

Question

I'm 18 and got an underage drinking ticket in Charlotte, NC. I blew a .01, ha-ha not even drunk! Will my car insurance go up? Do you think I can get all of the charges dropped?

Answer 1

Uhh yeah sorry.  

Answer 2

Do you think it's funny because you were not drunk. What about having alcohol of any kind under the age, driving or not. The state of NC is cracking down on underage drinking. Reason, the number of underage drinking charges has trippled in the pass year. All underage drinking charges are keep on record to see if it is becoming a problem and you just added to the number. So what do you think will happen when you appear in court before a judge at the age of 18 ?  It's going to be one expensive drink. Hope you learn a lesson by this because if you don't your just going to add a few more numbers in the days to come. Appear before a judge on a second underage drinking charge and you will spend some time in the county jail thinking about that one !  No It will not be dropped !

Answer 4

Yes, your insurance will go up.  No you will not get charges dropped.  NC is tough

Answer 5

Were you cited for Driving After Consuming While Under Twenty-One or just plain Under Age Possession/Consumption?  If you were cited for the driving charge then your insurance will go up (substantially) and your license will be revoked.  If you were cited for possession/consumption then your insurance probably will not be affected since it is not a moving violation.

In North Carolina any amount of alcohol while under twenty-one is a crime.  It doesn't matter if you were drunk or not.

Answer 6

a drinking ticket and a dui are two completely different things.... if you got a dui, then yes.... if you just got an underage drinking ticket and were not behind a wheel then no.

Answer 7

.01? What a load of c**p. Cops decided to bust you instead of solving a "real" crime. I guess that's easier.
