We experienced a crackdown on BUI during our recent Seafair celebration
in Seattle.

It might be interesting to know how much, or how little drinking others
allow on a boat and under what circumstances.....

I find that as I get older (but surely no wiser) I drink less than
before. While I never drank much at all when underway, I'm down to
virtually zero these days unless the boat is anchored or moored.

I allow one beer per person on my boat. Most of the time, I don't even drink
mine because for some reason, beer whacks me when I'm out in the sun. As for
the passengers, I don't want people whose sense of balance is impaired. My
yacht's 14' long. Although it's incredibly stable, there *are* situations
where shifting weight can make thing interesting. When my tackle box gets
flipped, it makes me wanna kill. I wanna see dead, heaped burnt bodies....
