Zaid Young · Answer 2

The correct answer is option:

C. A minor attempt to purchase an alcoholic beverage.

Explanation:

It is common knowledge that the legal drinking age in the United States is 21, and that it is illegal for all states to sell alcohol to anyone who is a minor. All states are also making it a crime to provide alcohol to an underage person even when there is no money involved.

It is illegal for a person under the age of 21 to purchase, try to buy, possess or drink an alcoholic beverage. A minor is guilty of misdemeanor in breach of this charge. The minor will get fined up to $1000 for the first arrest. The driving privileges of the minor are also to be suspended for up to year.
