If he/she told the officer he was drinking, yes. That is an admission by a party and is admissible in court. Depending on the facts, an attorney may be able to suppress the evidence through Motions. It is illegal to consume under 21. The only time you need a brethalyzer test is for a DUI. Under 21 in Georgia, the limit is .02 for a presumptive DUI.
