If you are under the age of 21, drinking alcohol is illegal anytime, anywhere.
Maryland's .02 Law makes it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to drive, or attempt to drive a motor vehicle while having a blood alcohol content of .02% or greater.
CONSEQUENCES of failure to obey these laws can mean:
Loss of drivers' license
Paying a sizeable fine
Cancellation of automobile insurance
Premature end to fun
TIPS TO STAY SAFE ARE:
Always say NO to alcohol use
Remember a blood alcohol content of .02% can be reached after one beer
Refuse to ride in a car with a driver who has been drinking
Drive defensively---- always be alert for those driving drunk!
