I've learned this as a responsible, upright citizen: Cops are not your friends. They're sneaky henchmen for a screwy legal system.
Good luck sorting out of your mess. You're probably screwed to whatever fate they have in store for you unless you can get a really slick attorney. My only real advice would be to avoid setting yourself up for failure in the future. If you insist of allowing minors to drink, it might be wise to A: prevent a gangbang of cars from happening outside your house, B: do all the drinking indoors, C: don't have cans and bottles and kegs visibly strew about your property.
Also instruct your partying offspring on the fine art of staying away from cops or at least to keep their mouth shut if they can't avoid 'em.
Our greatest "freedom" in this country is that we don't have to say a damn thing to anybody until we're "downtown" w/ a lawyer.
