It is a serious offense.

Because it's one instance. If no one was hurt, this is going to be a significant deterrent to most people. We don't have to go for the jugular for EVERYTHING. Jesus.[/quote]

Drunk driving, even involving teens, is almost never just a single instance thing. [/quote]

You know at 19 she could drink 1/2 glass of wine and get a dui.[/quote]

Well yes, everyone knows that, or should.  If you are under 21, you know that any level of BAC over ZERO is eligible for a DUI and to loose your license.  So smart kids under 21 do not drive if they have had anything to drink, even if it was 1 hour ago and only 1 beer.

So while you or I may have 1 drink with a 2 hour dinner and know we are good to drive (BAC is likely less than 0.01  by the time we get in a car, especially if the one drink was with food), someone under 21 knows that will get them arrested/DL suspended.  So don't do it.

Similar to in our state it is illegal for the first 6 months with your DL to have anyone who is not immediate family under the age of 21 in your vehicle with you while driving.  If you are pulled for ANYTHING and have a friend under 21 with you it impacts both the driver and the passenger(s).  First time is a warning (unless it's an accident, then it can mean suspension immediately).  2nd offense is suspension for both driver and passenger(s) under 21.  No questions asked.  No lawyer will get you out of it either (based on FB/NextDoor in my area, as many have tried).

Our kids followed the rules, so did all of their friends.  However, they know people at their HS who did not and lost their DL for 6 months.

So if you do stupid things, you win stupid prizes.
