You weren't charged with being drunk, you were charged with having alcohol in your possession.

It was in your car. That's honestly all they need. So far as the law is concerned, you committed a crime (whether you purchased the beer or not).

All this says is either you don't understand what MIP means or you were trying to trick the cop.

Most honest people don't run from the police. I'm not saying you're not a "clean honest man", but that's not going to show when the police officer says you ran from him (or her). That was certainly your biggest mistake.

This is what you should bring with you to court:
1) (presumably) You have no priors.
2) You're very sorry and will absolutely never drink underage or run from the police again.
3) You welcome any punishment the court has, and even offer to do community service.
