The Underage Alcohol Consumption charge may result in the judge ruling that you violated your probation. If that happens, the judge will impose punishment for the new case, in addition to the punishment for violation probation. Although the facts you mentioned do not appear to form a winning defense, there may be other facts about the new case and mitigation evidence that could improve the outcome of your situation.

It is unlikely that the minor errors will prevent you from being convicted. That said, a conviction for your new charge will probably trigger a probation violation. You need to be advised and represented by an attorney. You may have a defense to the new charge. You certainly will need legal assistance regarding appropriate mitigation (post conviction on the new charge) directed towards having your original probation continued and probation being granted on the new charge.
