well my advice is to get a lawyer. If the weed was on the ground, they can't prove it was yours. So a good lawyer will get you down to minor in possession of alcohol. You actually did the right thing by not taking the breathalizer test if you were drinking. Breath test, field sobriety tests will prove your guilt in court. So unless you know for a fact you would of passed them it's best to refuse them. Seriously if your in court, hearing he blew a 0.09/he was stumbling around, is worse than he refused to take it. Being under 21, if you blew anything you would of got arrested. Refusing the test will automatically get you arrested too, but leaves them with no convicting evidence. Just cause you were in possession does not mean your were drinking it that day (even though I'm sure you were). You can't fight the possession of alcohol charge, but the others can be fought and won unless your fingerprints are on the bag of weed. They would need that as evidence to convict your for that. They won't test it for prints, but if it really was not yours I would demand it be tested for prints to prove your inocence. You'll need a lawyer to file the motion to have the evidence tested for prints.
