Underage drinking in Illinois can carry serious consequences. Do your homework now, so that an underage drinking charge does not result in a conviction on your record, one that could cost you a spot in a higher education program, or cost you your first professional job. Not only are the future consequences serious, but as of January 1, 2008, the Illinois Secretary of State has discretionary authority to suspend or revoke your driver’s license or permit (for three months) without a preliminary hearing if you receive court supervision for underage drinking. (See 625 ILCS 5/6-206 (a) 43)
