Furnishing to a Minor Crimes Defense

In Colorado, it is against the law to sell or give alcohol to persons who are under the age of twenty-one. You could be at risk for jail time, a hefty fine, a record that follows you for life, and even losing your liquor license as a business owner.

What is the Statute?

Under CRS 44-3-901, to sell, serve, give away, dispose of, exchange, deliver, or permit the sale, serving, giving, or procuring of any alcohol beverage to or for any person under the age of twenty-one years.

What is the Penalty?

Furnishing alcohol to minors in the state of Colorado is a class 2 misdemeanor. A class 2 misdemeanor in the state of Colorado is punishable by imprisonment of 6 to 18 months, fines of $500 to $5,000, or both.

A penalty can be reduced or lessened depending on certain factors of the case. Those factors can include if the underage person who consumed alcohol is in need of medical attention after consuming alcohol and the perpetrator who supplied the alcohol calls for help from the police or emergency medical personnel, to report that the underage person is in need of medical assistance as a result of consuming alcohol.

If a merchant is convicted of selling alcohol to minors, they could risk losing their job, or their liquor license.
