In California, the legal drinking age is 21. That means that under most circumstances, a person less than 21 years of age commits a crime by having any alcohol at all.
In the context of California DUI Law, the difference between a sip of alcohol and nothing to drink can make a world of difference if you are less than 21 years old. In fact, California drunk driving law prohibits anybody under 21 years of age from driving with anything more than a .01 alcohol concentration in their system.
For most people, this is way less than one beer.
For this reason, there are literally thousands of college students who get busted for the charge of minor DUI each year, not to mention minor possessing alcohol.
