Alcohol-Related Crimes in NSW

Charged with an alcohol-related offence in NSW? You’re not alone—and we’re here to help.

Alcohol plays a big part in social life across New South Wales. But sometimes, a few drinks can lead to decisions we wouldn’t otherwise make. When things escalate, they can result in criminal charges—with real legal consequences.

At our law firm, we understand that alcohol-related offences are often the result of stress, emotion, or one bad night—not a reflection of your true character. We provide confidential, practical legal support to help you move forward.

Common Alcohol-Related Offences

We assist clients charged with a wide range of alcohol-related crimes, including:

  • Public intoxication or being drunk and disorderly
  • Driving under the influence (DUI).
  • Alcohol-fuelled violence (e.g., assault or affray)
  • Refusing to leave licensed premises
  • Offensive conduct or language in public
  • Supplying alcohol to minors
  • Resisting police while intoxicated

Even minor incidents can lead to serious penalties, especially when public safety is involved.

What Are the Penalties?

Penalties depend on the type of offence and whether it’s a first-time charge. You could face:

  • Heavy fines
  • A criminal record
  • Licence disqualification (for driving offences)
  • Community service or a conditional release order
  • In serious cases, imprisonment

The courts take alcohol-related violence and road safety very seriously—but there are legal options to minimise the damage.

How We Can Help

We’ve helped many clients walk away from alcohol-related charges with reduced penalties— or no conviction at all. Our team will:

  • Assess your case and identify possible defences
  • Represent you at every stage—from police interviews to court
  • Negotiate with police or prosecutors
  • Explore non-conviction options such as diversion programs or conditional release orders
  • Present your circumstances in the best possible light

If you’ve never been in trouble before, we’ll do everything we can to protect your clean record.

Don’t Face It Alone

An alcohol-related charge can impact your career, family life, and travel opportunities. But with the right legal advice early on, you may be able to resolve the matter with minimal consequences.
