SC Has A Zero Tolerance Policy

It only takes a blood alcohol concentration of .02 to be charged with penalties for underage drinking and driving. Underage drivers will automatically have their license suspended for at least 3 months.

Consequences of Underage DUI

If you are under 21 and and your blood alcohol (BAC) is at least .02 and less than .08

  • License (or permit) suspended or withheld for three months for a first offense; six months for a second offense within five years.
  • License suspended for six months if chemical test is refused during a first offense; a one-year suspension if it’s the second offense within five years.

However, it is important for you to know that you are entitled toAdministrative Hearing to seek reinstatement of your driving privileges while your case is pending.

If you are under 21 and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 or higher, you may be arrested for drunk driving and prosecuted under South Carolina’s Drunk Driving Laws.
