It depends,where in new york did this happen. I think this is just a volation,so you might just be able to go in to court and pay a fine and leave. Becareful,someone I knew kept on getting summons and then the last one which is normally a volation,the judge charged him w. a misdeamanor. You be amazed how w. one little thing you do wrong,they can stack up 2-3 charges or find some more serious charge,when what your were doing isn't that serious. Was the other ticket resloved,it would be worse if they were both pending.
It really depends thou and also how strict the local da or judge are. Sometimes they don't pay attention to minor things,other times they do. I the max penatly is 30 hours community service.

Unlawful Possession of Alcohol
The Alcohol Beverage Control Law also weighs in on possession with intent to consume alcohol by minors. Unlawful possession of alcohol by a minor is prohibited under § 65-c.
The ABC statute is curious in a few respects. First, it directs that the accused be issued a summons, but does not authorize an arrest. § 65-c(3). Second is the punishment provided by the statute. It is one of the few statutes that sets a maximum amount of "community service": no more than 30 hours. See also ABC Law § 65-b(2)(b),(c). One decision also holds that the statute defines a civil offense and that therefore a conditional discharge is not a permitted disposition. People v Ekman, 185 Misc2d 905, 715 NYS2d 138 (Co Ct 2000).
Yes it was resolved, my other ticket was paid of ($50) and was a few months ago, in West Seneca, NY. This one i just recieved was 45 mins aways (Darien Center) at the kid rock concert. They were giving out tickets left and right. The cops were real cool about it though.
Idk how strict they are there.Your probably just pay another fine,maybe some community service,idk thou.The max amt is 30 hrs.If I had to guess I would say just a fine again,maybe more this time.
If they were handing so many out,that could help too b.c it's probably a common ticket and ppl just pay a fine and it's some revune for the court,lol.
