Penn State University and Centre County both take underage drinking very seriously. While teenagers and college students may laugh off incidents of college drinking with underage students off, law enforcement in the area strictly uphold drinking laws. If you have been caught drinking underage or providing alcohol to an underage individual, you need representation with an understanding of how these laws work.
