If they catch you drunk while boating in Canada... you automatically lose
your driver's license for a year, you must take a course to get your license
back and no insurance company will touch for any amount of premiums.

That said.... if your vessel has a galley, salon, head and separate
sleeping quarters.... guests may drink alcohol down below. There is nothing
that states the owner must be sober... only the crew on watch. They do not
make a practise of checking sailboats and the legislation was mostly geared
and enacted to control powerboaters.

The International Maritime Organization, the United Nations body
responsible
for safety at sea, has already recommended to all member countries,
including Ireland, that national legislation should be introduced
controlling alcohol consumption by seafarers.
