As a general rule (aside from what the actual law is),
-Irregardless of age, any type of open container is a no-no.
-If you are under 21 (but over 18 ) and transporting, make sure it is in the trunk of your car and not in plain site.
-If you are under 18, you should not be in possession of alcohol at all in your car.
Cops usually won't give someone under 21 (and over 18 ) a hard time if you are transporting alcohol (despite what Jim has proven to us by law) unless you were doing something outrageously stupid to begin with. But if you're under 18, it becomes more questionable as to what the cop will do.
I speak from countless times of experience...
