  consumption of alcohol, the juvenile may plead no
  contest or file for a diversion, and the court
  may process the juvenile without the need for a
  hearing. In cases involving alcohol or minor Drug

  to probation, which can include involvement in a
  substance abuse program, community service,
  curfew or other conditions of probation as the
  court finds necessary in the particular case.
