"In most cases" is the problem. "In most cases" a drunk driver doesn't kill
anyone, but there are still plenty of cases where they do. While boats are
slower and there is more space between them, boats operate in an environments
that are far less forgiving once trouble shows up.

I can recall two fatal collisions in recent years here in Iowa. One
was, in fact, caused by a drunk, who simply ran down a guy, and kept
going. Hit the man in the head with the sterndrive. The other case the
cops were running at high speed close to shore which is against the
law. They ran flat out into a designated anchorage and killed a guy in
his bunk, and tried to blame him for it. Said he wasn't showing
lights, but they are not required in an designated anchorage.
