In a society where our records and past incidents can follow us around for the rest of our lives, it is more important than ever to make sure that youthful incidents are not allowed to put us behind the eight ball as we mature.

Whether you have been pegged for underage DUI yourself or you are seeking help for your child in the Twin Cities, it is crucial to understand just what is at stake. If not properly handled, an underage DUI could result in consequences such as:

  • Fines
  • Loss of driver's license
  • Difficulty finding housing
  • School discipline
  • Loss of scholarships or grants

Minnesota Has Zero Tolerance For Underage Drinking And Driving

People at or above the legal drinking age of 21 are given the benefit of the doubt that they will make good choices about alcohol and getting behind the wheel. As a result, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) for legal drinkers is below .08.

Underage drivers are not given the benefit of the doubt. The legal BAC for someone under the age of 21 is 0.00. Even .0000001 can result in being cited for driving while intoxicated (DWI).
