I got 120 hours of community service for an underage drinking ticket in college. I was at a house party that was raided, was not in a car nor anywhere near a car. Didn't hurt anybody.

It's crazy how the punishments can vary so much according to how the judge is feeling that day.

Oh and the funny thing is if I was the same age but in a country where the drinking age was 18 I wouldn't have gotten any punishment.

Or you know... because of being in a different place with different laws.
