Drinking and Boating Under the Influence
 
http://cbs5.com/local/local_story_127113557.html

I have strong knowledge of this event and the news report is fairly accurate
and only leaves out a few details. This boating accident was avoidable.
Accidents happen. This one didn't need to. This one will most likely end
up being classified under manslaughter. Let's just say what I've said is my
opinion based on all the information I have.

Sometimes I feel like a real outsider when it comes to no drinking allowed
on my boat, but ...

I don't allow alcohol on my boats either - don't feel lonely.

Bryan I don't drink at all but most of my friends and relatives drink
pretty regularly so i know how you feel. When you are the sober one
you feel left out but there is a certain amount of things you can do
to the drunk people that make being sober worth it.

Heck, drinking does not affect your actions:

Better to be a sober skipper than an drunk one. ;-)
