Solves a lot of problems that way!


I agree that it's very important for the skipper to be blowing "zero"
when the boat is underway, (and for several hours prior to getting
underway) but you don't allow your guests to have a beer of a glass of
wine? Maybe on a small, open boat that would make some sense, but if
you're going to anchor overnight it seems a bit harsh to restrict
choice of beverages to iced tea or diet cola for a sunset dinner.

Every boat and situation is different. Why did you conclude that for
your boat and your situation everybody aboard must abstain at all times?
