How much more serious can it become for the boy...a felony!
They criminalize youthful behavior now. If you have college kids you will get a big dose of it. Since the drinking age is now stupidly 21, the drug use amongst college kids has skyrocketed. Also, most I know do not drink and drive anymore so they walk home or call a cab. For the walkers, the police are waiting for them to give them public drunk charges. It’s big money for these college towns and for the lawyers that are hired to get these asinine charges off their records. It’s a racket.
