III. Conclusion
Underage use of alcohol is a serious problem in America. Beyond the social consequences of underage drinking, there are serious criminal, civil and administrative implications.
It is imperative that young people understand the serious penalties and catastrophic harm that may result when they decide to consume alcoholic beverages. It is equally important that those who provide alcohol beverages to those under the age of 21 understand that they too may be subject to serious penalties as well.
If you, a friend or family member are involved in a criminal or civil case relating to underage drinking, it is imperative that you immediately engage a trial lawyer with good experience in this area of the law.
