Under most state laws you only violate the open container law if the container is in a place where the driver can reach it. So you shouldn't get a DUI for it.
Still, you're kinda playing with fire if you're underage. Any pissed off cap who opens your trunk will assume that the booze was yours, and will cite you no matter how old the bottles are. You can fight it, but that'd be much more of a pain in the ass then just getting rid of them.
