If you were caught stealing alcohol in the US at 18 would you go to prison/jail?

Just wondering...

    Yelp and you would be labeled as

    .

    A person you do not invite to a party

    .

    And would have to register at the AA as being such

    It really depends on how people feel when they catch you doing it. Where I work, we have days when we catch people stealing alcohol and we let them go completely, and others when they go to jail and pay fines.

    Petty theft. You get a fine, unless you have multiple offenses. Worst case scenario is you'll spend one day in jail.

    depends on if you have any priors- you'll probably get charged with a felony if you resisted with force and spend a month in jail (in California)

    Source(s): if you have priors and/or probation violations, you can add another 11 months in jail (possibly prison in some cases)

    Depends on the state you live in.
