Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

I was wondering if and officer can charge me with possesion of alochol under iowa code 123.47 at a party when i had parent permission to drink and it was on one of there properties and when the officers checked with my parents they did say they granted permission. I also know that my county does not have a minor consumption ordnace so it is it is legal for me to have consumed alochol under 123.3(4) of iowa code as long as i have parent permission.
