I don't know about it being a automatic license suspension unless things have changed over the last few years. Because back in high school my buddy got caught with a bottle of booze in his car because his girl friend at the time got to drunk and started puking. He just got kicked out of school for the remainder of the year which was only like 2 weeks lol. So he had to take summer school to graduate. But he never said who bought it for him. But he never lost his license. Although he did have to take a drug & AA class. But that was only because he was caught at school.
