Drinking

Can I be tried for a minor consumption offence (when I was 17) AFTER I turn 18?

Yes.  For the most part, when the law refers to someone as a minor, the law usually means someone under the age of 18.  However, in the case of underage drinking, if you are under 21, that is consumption of alcohol by a minor.  So, even though you are not a minor in most situations, when it comes to alcohol, you are.
