Most New Haven Connecticut juveniles and parents are not aware of New Haven underage drinking laws and how they apply. In general, any minor can be arrested for New Haven MIP whether they are in actual possession of alcohol or drugs, or not.

A violation of underage drinking laws, a youthful indiscretion such as New Haven CT drug possession or distribution or any arrest of a minor can also impact admission to college, qualifying for financial aid, or finding a job or place to live. Multiple offenses, or more serious charges such as New Haven vehicular homicide involving alcohol can result in felony charges and even worse consequences such as lengthy prison terms.
