Denver Underage DUI Attorneys
Although the legal drinking age in the United States is 21, we understand that people generally have their first alcoholic beverage before that point. The law is not so understanding, particularly for people under the age of 21 who drink and drive. In Colorado, if you are under 21 and have been charged with DUI, different rules apply to your case.
If you are under 21, a blood alcohol content (BAC) level as low as 0.02 percent can result in a conviction. By comparison, for people 21 or older, a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher is necessary to be convicted of DUI. In short, if you are under 21, drink one alcoholic beverage and get behind the wheel, you can be charged with DUI.
