    Default Open Container 20 Yrs Old

    The thing is that about a month ago, My friend was drinking a Sangria ( i did take a sip to taste it ) in front of my house in Brooklyn.
    Then I asked her to go to the corner store with me and she said sure.
    So i got her cup and was going to take it inside but she says to me dont.
    I dont know what happened to me that I listened to her and stood outside my house with it in my hand and all of a sudden I just see a police officer in front of me.
    So i didn't have any id on me so i went inside and showed him my passport. A Nicaraguan Passport.I was still 20 years old at the time but he wrote my birthdate backwards which already made me 21 yrs old. He told me i didn't need to go to court just to send the $25 fee which i did the next morning.
    I didnt want to get in more trouble, so i put my correct date of birth on the plead guilty - white paper.

    My question is, how bad is this?
    I have never got in any trouble with the law before. Its been more than a month now and i am 21 years old now. Should i receive a notice they got my payment. My court date was in december but since the officer said it wasnt necessary. what sould i do? is this going to affect me badly?

    I was also recommended to court and ask for an ACD (adjournment in contemplation of a dismissal). " It will be dismissed in 6 months as long as your friend stays out of trouble. Being under age does not matter. "
