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