What offense is covered by a minor misrepresenting their age to obtain alcohol?

• A. Class A misdemeanor
• B. Class C misdemeanor
• C. Felony
• D. Infraction

Answer: (B)

Misrepresenting age to obtain alcohol is treated as a misdemeanor offense aimed at deterring underage drinking. In the relevant law, this conduct by a minor is classified as a Class C misdemeanor, which carries a fine as punishment but no jail time. This fits because the act is illegal and involves a minor, yet it is considered less severe than felonies or higher-class misdemeanors that involve more serious harm or repeat offenses. An infraction would not capture the criminal element of trying to buy alcohol, and a Class A misdemeanor or felony would imply much more serious penalties.
