This is NOT about general boating laws.

This is a quiet, scenic, river that has a special "no alcohol allowed" law
in this area.
They are trying to keep this a "family friendly" area near a state park.
The idea is that it is much easier to enforce a blanket no alcohol policy
than to try to chase down the problem people or have probably cause to
individually check id's on people who are drinking to check their age.

Yeah, many state parks and public beaches have "No Alcoholic Beverages
Allowed" signs all over the place. I put Coca-Coca and Dr. Pepper in
the cooler when I go to those places.
After all, it would be embarrassing to be arrested by a lifeguard.
