First of all, you need to contact DMV within ten days of your arrest and request an administrative hearing. This process is separate from the criminal court case. If the DMV hearing officer determines you were under 21 and driving with any level of alcohol in your system over .01%, you will lose your license for a year. Vehicle Code 23152(a) is driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or both... basically being too intoxicated to drive safely. Vehicle Code 23152(b) is driving with a blood alcohol level over .08%. If you are convicted of one or the other, or both, the punishment is the same: fines of about $2000, a one year license suspension because you are under 21, a four month DUI class, three to five years of probation, and up to six months in jail. If you are granted probation, you might not serve any jail time at all, though judges in some counties impose a minimum of 48 hours. If your blood alcohol was over .15%, you may get more jail and/or a longer DUI class. The conviction could also be used to increase the punishment for any future DUI conviction in the next ten years. Vehicle Code 23140 is driving with a blood alcohol level over .05% when you are under 21. This is an infraction, which means you cannot be ordered to serve jail time. It still carries a fine and a one-year license suspension. It cannot be used as a prior conviction to increase the punishment for a future DUI conviction, but DMV could use it to impose a harsher suspension in the administrative proceeding following a subsequent DUI arrest. Please understand that this is a general discussion of legal principles by a California lawyer and does not create an attorney/client relationship. It's impossible to give detailed, accurate advice based on a few sentences on a website (and you shouldn't provide too much specific information about your legal matter on a public forum like this, anyway). You should always seek advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who can give you an informed opinion after reviewing all of the relevant information.
