As a matter of fact, yes, but then I realized what a dumb ass I was being.
Haven't done so for many years now.

So, if you go to a restaurant, you don't have a drink with dinner,
then drive home? Or dancing with your wife/bf and had a coctail, only
to drive home later. My boat goes 6 mph, weighs less than 300 pounds,
and is full of soft, floaty stuff. I go to a lake where there is a 6
mph speed limit, all day. So if you are really concerened with drunk
activity, go help MADD, but don't come here cause I said I was going
to have a "sip" or whiskey during a 6 hour stay on the water and try
to be some kind of internet hero!

Although I feel awkward agreeing with John...here's what you said..
"Yes, I get buzzed on the water, so sue me"

Up here it's illegal to operate a boat under the influence.

Here too, but I don't expect to be impaired. Probably should not have
said "buzzed". But still guys, get off it, go boating, and by all
means, don't ever have a beer on your boat, even if you are parked at
an island for the day

No.

No.

You didn't initially say you had a sip of whiskey. You said you got
'buzzed'. I made no judgement of you, I asked a couple questions, you asked
a couple questions. I answered. You got bent out of shape.

What is it with some people? A man has got to know his limitations
and operate within them.

For you, it appears that you have concluded that are not capable of
operating a boat safely after having ANY adult beverage. Good on you.
You know your limitations. Do everyone a favor and quit being all
preachy about the matter. Don't try to impose your personal
limitations on others. What is right for you may not be right for
others. You are indirectly calling me a dumbass because I lead my life
differently than you do. In my book, that directly makes you a self
centered dumbass.

I can have a beer or two every few hours and safely operate my boat.
Same with my cars. I wouldn't drink six beers in 15 minutes and run my
boat or drive my car. I wouldn't want others to, either. I drink a
glass or two of red wine several nights a week. If I don't have a
glass of wine, I'll have a beer or a cocktail. I sometimes have a
cocktail at a bar, with colleagues after work. In other words, a mild
buzz is something I am familiar with and I can handle without issue.
Apparently, there are many people who can't. Those that can't,
shouldn't. I don't try to make non-drinkers drink. Why do you think
it is right to impose your ways on other people?

You do what is right for you. Let the rest of us do what is right for
us. Different strokes for different folks. Respect for others is a
good thing. Imposing your views on others is a bad thing. No matter
what the issue.

Ouch, but I am familiar with John, think he is ok. Anyway, it doesn't
really matter cause I know most here have skeletons too. I just choose
not to hide them here, unlike others who try to maintain some kind of
elevated persona in order to command credibility. Me, I am what I am,
never run from it before, won't start now...

Do you operate your boat or auto while 'buzzed'?

That was the word that got my attention, not one beer or one sip.
