Ok I wasn't driving but was in the backseat when this happened. We had been at a friend's birthday kegger and were all heading back to another house to crash.

Anyway, its about 4am, we're on Betton/Thomasville and my friend in shotgun, we'll call her "Drunkee", says to pull over, she has to puke. We pull over right in front of Winthrop and our DD, lets call her "Brilliant One", flashes the hazards. Of coure at 4am this is a real attention-getter.

While Drunkee is puking her guts up, halfway in the car, halfway on the grass, a cop pulls up. We're thinking 'oh shit.'

Cop: Is your friend ok?
Brilliant One: Yes officer. Just a lil sick.
Cop: She have too much to drink tonite?
Brilliant One: Yes sir.
Cop: Is she 18?
Brilliant One: Yes sir.
Cop: *Shines the light at her, then Drunkee, then me*
Cop: Get her home and I don't wanna see you kids out on the road again.
Brilliant One: Yes sir.
*Both parties leave*

All I can say is that it was a lucky break for us. Eh...whats the penalty usually for 18+? Same as like any DUI penalty?

If he didn't witness them drinking I don't believe anyone can be charged, provided they were not driving or putting other's lives at risk.

As far as i know, even though there where no open containers, they can be charged with minor in possession because obviously at some point in the night, they had alcohol in there possession. Not positive, but thats what i've been told before.

no, they have to actually catch you drinking...experienced this first hand, I was drinking, my friend was drunk but did not have a beer in his hand, I got fucked, and he didnt. of course, this was before I was of age.

he could try and charge someone 21 or older for giving it to her but would be hard for him to prove it
