In the unlikely event that Doug Kanter has a good day fishing and
celebrates with that beer of his, he's probably not going to be instantly
transmogrified into a marauding menace to society. But the way our current
enforcement policies work, he could be treated the same as that guy who's
been drinking all day and tearing around in his 50mph cigarette boat. I'll
take common sense over zero tolerance any day.


You make a great point, but I guess the difference in perspectives may lay
with the different definitions of what is is. Zero tolerance to me means,
if you're drunk AND operating a car or boat, you're cuffed and prosecuted.
For me zero tolerance doesn't mean pulling Doug over for celebrating his
catch with his first (and last) beer of the day. To me, drunk is drunk and
is is is.
