In NJ, until your 21 you cannot have any detectable amount of alcohol in your system.  Now that's rough, I drank a bottle of beer the other day and then realized that technically I could have gotten a DUI

Anyway, I don't think they should vary by age, but I think the legal limit should be under .1, drinking is great, drunk driving is not

Do they charge you with DUI, MIP or intoxicated minor?
In Driver's Ed they always told us DUI, that might have been to scare us but I doubt it.  I can't find it online, but I'll try and find my Driver's Ed book later.  I'm 90% sure its a DUI though

Hopefully, by 2020, cars will have alcohol sensors installed with them that will disable the car, if it detects alcohol from the driver.
The thing I've never understood with those breath in to start the car things is if you can bypass that by having a passenger blow
