Can a minor drink at home with parents permission?

Answer 1

Yes of course. If your parents catch you and turn you in or if you become too rowdy and neighbors call the police you may get into big trouble. Consequences of underage drinking can be minimal to very harsh, depending on your situation. If your family allows you to drink at home, just don't publicize it and catch unwanted attention; it may come back to bite you.

Answer 2

If you do nothing wrong and cooperate, then they cannot do anything to you. If they accuse you of underage drinking, ask for a test to prove it. If they accuse you of supplying the others and assuming you didn't, just say so.

In the US you can be charged as a delinquent.

Answer 3

In NJ a minor is allowed to have a drink as ie; toasting, celebrations, etc. with his parents permission (and present) as long as the child does not overdo it and get drunk for that would be considered child abuse.

Same in New York.

Answer 4

A parent or guardian may not give a child alcohol, even at home. If they do they will be subjected to prosecution under Florida Statutes, Section 562.11. That Section makes it unlawful for any person to sell, give, serve, or permit to be served alcohol to any person under the age of 21. It does not make an exception for parents or guardians. If a parent or guardian provides alcohol to a child, the parent or guardian could be subjected to prosecution under Florida Statutes, Section 562.11 for the misdemeanor offense of Selling, Giving, or Serving Alcoholic Beverages to a Person Under Age 21, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500.00 fine, and/or under Section 827.04 for the misdemeanor offense of contributing to the delinquency of a child, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1000.00 fine.

Answer 5

No. If you are too young to drink in a bar or purchase alcohol it is also illegal to drink in your home.
