A new law for unemployment in Wisconsin?

Where Can I find the Wisconsin State Law Regarding Underage Drinking...?

• I'm looking for the Wisconsin state law that states that underage (under 21) people can drink if they are accompanied by their parents/guardians or their spouse whom is 21 or over. I'm married and my husband is 21. He will be 22 in May. Oh and I'm 19. I'll be 20 in July....Not that that all matters..I'm 19 and hes 21. I know the law says we can go to a bar together and have a drink, but I want to print out a copy and show it to anybody if they give me any trouble when i the bar...I'm pretty sure the law states that the owner has the option of abiding by this law, like its a personal preference of theirs....Can anyone tell me more about this law, and tell me where I can find it to print it out...And if you were really awesome could you tell me some places in milwaukee that will go along with this law for sure?

  What's covered by this law? The law covers a range of activities related to the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages by people under the legal drinking age (21 years old). It is illegal for persons under the legal drinking age to: 1.Purchase, procure, or attempt to procure, alcoholic beverages; 2.Possess or consume intoxicating liquor (including wine), except when accompanied by parent, guardian, or spouse who has attained legal drinking age; 3.Enter or be on a premises which has a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages, 1.except if an underage person is an employee, resident, or boarder on the premises, 2.except if entering a Class A* License retail intoxicating liquor premises to purchase edibles, 3.except hotels, drug and grocery stores, bowling alleys, stadiums, restaurants, etc. 4.except Class B** License liquor premises if for an auction or marching and drilling, but not in the room where alcoholic beverages are sold or furnished. 5.except if the person is at least 18 and is contracted to entertain; 6.except on a premises when no alcoholic beverages are being sold or given away and the owner has notified law enforcement when underage persons will be allowed. 4.Obtain an I.D. card with inaccurate information; 5.Misrepresent his or her age for obtaining alcohol; 6.Carry false identification; or 7.Obtain an alcoholic beverage license or permit. * Class A License - retail sales of liquor for consumption off the premises and where sold in original packages. ** Class B License - retail sales of liquor for consumption on the premises, by the glass, and not in original containers...and beer to be consumed on or off the premises.

Can I Be Arrested? Underage drinking is not a criminal offense. However, a person may be detained by an officer as long as required to conduct an investigation. Sometimes arrests result because of other incident-related circumstances. What Are The Penalties? The penalties are costly and are designed to be a deterrent. There are the costs of fines, license reinstatement fees, higher insurance rates and loss of driving privileges.
