Essential Facts on Juvenile Alcohol Possession in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s laws on underage possession of alcohol are explicit: persons below the age of 21 are strictly forbidden from:

• Attempting to purchase or buying alcohol.
• Having alcohol in their possession.
• Consciously transporting alcoholic products.

Note that any drink, including spirits, malt, or brewed varieties with an alcohol content of 0.5% or more, falls under this restriction. The consequences of breaking this law are severe and can include substantial fines and the potential suspension of driving privileges. Additionally, law enforcement may inform your guardians of such violations.

Frequently, minors are charged while law enforcement is carrying out enforcement of other statutes, such as noise ordinance regulations, where underage drinking is discovered incidentally. Mere contact with an alcoholic beverage container can lead to detention and a charge for juvenile possession of alcohol.
