they can have a few and be all right. Unfortunately, they're wrong. Do
the world a favor and save having a few until the boat is tied to the dock.

Or if you have to have a cold one on the water do as I do and paddle
a canoe. ;-)

Dude, have you ever seen the aftermath of a boating accident? *I spent
twenty years in Fire/EMS and have been to more than my fair share of boating
incidents, with at least four fatalities that I can think of off the top of
my head that will haunt me to my grave. *There were two alcohol related
fatalities in my home area last year, and in both cases, the drunken boat
drivers ran over other boats legally enjoying their time on the water. *Both
drunken boat operators were convicted of vehicular homicide and are now
serving long sentences, and rightfully so.

I don't care how *HUGE* a lake is. *When you take someone and put them
behind the wheel of a vehicle capable of highway speeds, without brakes,
then impair their judgment, reflexes and response times with alcohol, there
are going to be problems of the worst sort. *The bad thing is that usually
those injured are unfortunates that simply happened to be in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

Can you even imagine what a propeller spinning at three to five thousand
rpms does to a human body? *Stick your finger in a spinning blender and
you'll get something close to the same injury. *That doesn't even consider
the impact force of a two to four thousand pound boat slamming into another
boat! *Often times in a boating collision, one boat goes over the top of the
other, so you have impact injuries as well as slicing and dicing trauma.

And then there's the problem of increased response time by the emergency
responders and the difficulty of a water rescue.

There are more idiots out there than you can possibly imagine that feel they
can have a few and be all right. *Unfortunately, they're wrong. *Do the
world a favor and save having a few until the boat is tied to the dock.


I thought boating was supposed to be fun. You're making it sound kind
of dull. A few beers certainly sounds like it would be more
interesting.

Jon,

Boating IS fun, just as driving scenic back roads in a car can be fun as
well. But if you need a few beers in order to have fun, you might want to
re-evaluate your priorities.

How interesting would it to live the rest of your life knowing you killed
someone? How interesting would it be to have your wife/girlfriend or child
dead because someone thought boating was dull and felt it necessary to drink
to make it more interesting?

There's nothing wrong with enjoying some adult beverages, the problem is
that "a few beers" all too often turns into too many, and that's when
accidents happen. I'm no teatotalling prude, I enjoy my evening cocktails,
but I limit it to after the day is done. I've seen too much death and
tragedy in my career to risk becoming part of the problem.

Oh, I would never drink and drive a car. Roads are narrow and can be
full of turns. But a lake isn't. Sometimes when I go boating I
actually see how long I can close my eyes. It's kind of
exhilerating!!!

Dude, he's drinking and driving A FREAKIN' BOAT. You have the God given

for crying out loud. No one ever got killed from drinking and driving a
boat, except for maybe that Exxon Valdez dude.

There was some MLB player that drove his boat full speed into a pier a
few years ago.

Well, he didn't die from drinkin and driving his boat.

He died from hitting a pier! duh.

Uh, yourself.

I reject /your/ deluded, seriously twisted "reality" and substitute the reality
of the danger of drunken boating.

The point is, you contentious, sidesplitting buffoon, is that your statement
about being able to drink and drive a boat is a God-given right is absolutely
fallacious and self-serving if not outright sacriligious.

May I re-refer you to the response by Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers (thanks, Steve,
BTW) wherein he states the /reality/ of the dangers of doing what you
(offensively) say is a "God-given right" (especially the last paragraph)?!?

To state that no one has ever been killed by drinking and boating is in itself
an appalling rejection of reality as the rest of the world knows it. Your level
of social immaturity is astounding.
