I am trying to determine if it is in fact legal for a me (a minor) to brew and consume beer on private property (in this case my apartment). I know that in both MA (where I am from) and GA where I am living the laws are carefully structured so that when your underage idiot friend is about to die of alcohol poisoning you can get him to the hospital without risking arrest. Having done minimal research it seems that it is illegal for a minor to do the following:
*Attempt to purchase alcohol
*Consume alcohol in public
*Posses and open container
*Be drunk in public
However, I can't find reference to any laws that explicitly state that a minor cannot consume alcohol in either MA or GA. This website would seem to agree: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/LegalDrinkingAge.html
A wikipedia article also supports my argument:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underage_drinking_in_America
I have been trying to read the GA state law's LexisNexus files but they are painfully difficult to read. Does anyone else have any additional insight? If so can you point me to the document that says so?
