First, the criminal charge of minor in consumption of alcohol is a misdemeanor in most states where if convicted you could spend time in a juvenile detention facility. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to represent you in the matter that you write about.
If convicted of the charge against you, you most likely will face a $500 plus fine, community service work and attending classes with respect to the dangers of drinking alcohol as a minor.
