Salisbury Underage Drinking Lawyers
What is the Legal Drinking Age in Maryland?
It's a crime in Maryland to drink until you are 21 years old. A charge of underage consumption often accompanies a charge of DUI or DWI.
There is a reason why Maryland courts come down hard on underage drinking: Statistics show that alcohol is a leading factor in fatal and serious highway injuries, and it is simply a fact that young drivers on alcohol or drugs play a disproportionate role in these statistics.
What are the Penalties for Underage Drinking?
Conviction on these two charges can cast a dark shadow on a young person's life, in addition to the following potential penalties:
- Heavy fines
- Suspended driver's license
- Mandatory community service
- Mandatory alcohol and drug training courses at your own expense
