A charge of Minor in Consumption (MIC), is a Class C misdemeanor. The charge means that minor (a person under the age of 21, was given a citation/ticket for consuming an alcoholic beverage. Unlike an MIP, possession is not enough. A prosecutor must prove that the minor has actually consumed the alcoholic beverage. You should attempt to receive "deferred adjudication", which is a special probation that, once dui completed, will leave you with a clear criminal history record. At this point, you would be well advised to consult directly with a DUI attorney in the area of where the incident occurred.
