A: Violating probation terms, such as getting an underage drinking ticket, could result in consequences such as having to pay fines, community service, attending alcohol education classes, or even revocation of probation. Depending on the severity of the violation, you may also face additional legal consequences, such as being charged with a crime or being sent to jail.

If you are concerned about the potential consequences of your actions, you should speak with an attorney who can provide you with legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. It's important to take your probation seriously and abide by all terms to avoid further legal trouble.
