Question: Whats the worst to happen if i got cought with alcohol?

Answer:

This depends on who catches you.  If you are caught by the police, they can give you a citation and you may have to appear for hearing.  The "worst" that can happen depends upon the circumstances of your case (first offense, what happens after the hearing, did the state prove its case, etc.)

To view the Arizona Laws for underage drinking, see ARS §4-244 & ARS §4-241.

In Arizona, the legal drinking age is 21. See Arizona Revised Statutes section 4-101(16)

If you are under the age of 21 and have alcohol in your possession you can have your license taken away for 1 year.
