    Question Underage Poss. Alcohol with Alcohol on Me

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia

    I recently got charged with Underage Possession of Alcohol (19 years old) by police when I didn't have any alcohol on me. Granted I was relatively inebriated, there were no containers possessing any type of alcoholic beverage.

    I am wondering if I can try and fight this or if simply having the alcohol in your system at the time of arrest is enough to be convicted.

    Thanks for your time.

    Wherever did you get the idea that you could be drunk and still escape being charged with possession of alcohol?

    If it's in your system? You're very much in possession of it.

    Wishful thinking, I suppose.

    I guess I'm just a little confused on why he chose UAP instead of drunk in public. Either way it's not too big a deal, just very poor timing since I was supposed to leave for basic in the next month.

    Thanks again for your time.
