Which of the following is a legal consequence of underage drinking?

• A. Loss of driver's license
• B. Increased liberty
• C. Automatic scholarship
• D. No consequences

Answer: (B)

Underage drinking is illegal in many places, and the law can impose penalties that restrict a minor’s freedoms. A common legal consequence is the loss or suspension of driving privileges. This happens because alcohol offenses related to minors often involve driving or possession, and licensing authorities can suspend a license for a period as part of the penalties. The goal is to deter underage drinking and protect road safety.

The notion of increased liberty doesn't fit as a consequence, since penalties from underage drinking generally limit rights rather than expand them. Automatic scholarships aren’t tied to these legal penalties, and saying there are no consequences ignores the real sanctions that can accompany underage drinking.
