Your boyfriend could probably get diversion if he does not have any other MIP convictions, which means he goes through a few classes and perhaps is on probation, which could include random pbt tests to determine whether he is drinking alcohol. Since alcohol was legal when I was 18, I personally do not like officer's ticketing 20 year olds for drinking and he was not impaired; however, many Judge's disagree and simply say "well, it's still illegal."
