A person is guilty of unlawfully dealing with a child in the first degree when he gives or sells or causes to be given or sold any alcoholic beverage, as defined by section three of the alcoholic beverage control law, to a person less than twenty-one years old; except that this subdivision does not apply to the parent or guardian of such a person.

Unlawfully dealing with a child in the first degree is a class A misdemeanor.
