Underage DUI:

You don't have to be under the influence of alcohol only that you consumed a measurable amount of alcohol prior to driving.
CA has a zero tolerance policy for any amount of alcohol in your system while driving. Again, zero tolerance. You will face an automatic driver's license suspension or a 1 year delay in obtaining a driver's license if you don't have one yet.
The law declares that if you are under 21 and suspected of DUI you are deemed to have consented to 1) a preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) test, or (2) and other blood, breath or urine test to determine your BAC.
If you refuse chemical testing you will face a 1 to 3 year suspension (depending upon number of prior convictions you have under the CA zero tolerance law).
This offence is civil, not criminal. The penalties are enforced by the CA DMV so you must request a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest to fight driver's license suspension.
An underage CA DUI will be reported on employment and college applications.
You can be charged with any (or all) of the following: CA Zero Tolerance Law (CA Vehicle Code 23136VC), Under 21 DUI with a BAC of 0.05%-0.07% (CA Vehicle Code 23140VC) or DUI - Misdemeanor (Vehicle Code 23152VC). Each has their own particular set of penalties.
