Does it make a difference if I'm under 21?

Yes. A person under 21 arrested for DWI will be treated differently mostly in regard to your driver license. Driver license restrictions and suspensions are more severe for a person under 21 arrested and convicted of DWI. A person who is under 21 will have a one-year suspension period even if they receive probation for a DWI. Thus, they may need a restricted driver license for one year.
