Yes it matters. Having a beer isn't dangerous. Being drunk while boating is.

i like beer. usually drink one while sitting in my driveway (not in the car ) after i get back from fishing and the boat is put away in the garage.
everyone drinks on the water. i see their cans all over the bottom.
i have never seen a cop pull someone over for doing 111kph on highway 2. i suppose they wont bust a couple guys having a sandwhich and a beer anchor down. but i totally expect them to bust the 12 college students flying across the lake with 5 lifejackets and 60 beers in the cooler.
if your one of those people who cant possibly go fishing without caring more about ice for your beer than bait for your fish. then you should not be suprised when you get busted.
lets all try and be good neighbours to each other out there. drink in moderation, be respectful to nature, enjoy!!!

Pretty typical AO thread. Guy asks a simple question and varroooooommmmm…….I hope you are now better informed Happyfisher  .
I commented early that I got caught, and got $115 for possession rather than $187 for consumption because the CO was reasonable. I don’t argue the ticket, and I'll take it for my empyties also since they come home with me (maybe it's because I'm scot ).
I also had 2 waters, 2 iced tea and snacks, I just enjoy the taste of beer, but for the benefit of everyone concerned, I’ll check in to Betty Ford as soon as Wild Rose confirms and approves the unnecessary wait time.
Carry on.

Please all you holier than thou people  the key word hear is moderation .If I want to have a couple beers while out enjoying a day fishing so be it if you want water and diet pop go ahead I don't need you telling what I can and can't do just like I would't tell you what you can and can't do. And yes we have had the fish cops at the boat and they don't even bat an eye at a couple beer in the boat like I said moderation is key. Now I can hardly wait to get out fishin , relax minding my own business and have a couple . See you on the water

This thread has brought out the squares in record numbers. Who has the time to look up these laws and post them. Its obviously illegal, no need to pull stats guys.
As for all the people saying have a beer back at camp. It's illegal to drink in campgrounds and public property. Unless your campsite is next to a bar or a buddy's cabin you're also breaking the law.
I bet the guy who started this thread was just joking and laughing at everyone getting worked up!

maybe if you had some dealings with the aftermath of an alcohol related boating fatality you may feel I little different. spend a day on some of the popular water sport lakes in AB. see if you can judge if the guy in the ski boat is a moderate drinker as they pass you a 30 odd mph. lots of the pleasure craft operators cant be safe when sober what chance do they have after a beer or six.
in my opinion beer on the water is the first sign of a flat land naval candidate.

Oh my god fishgunner, be more dramatic! Nobody is talking about getting loser drunk and also not on some busy lake in the middle of summer.
I have great story for you that my grandmother used to tell. Some losers were drunk in their boat and tried to go 40 mph through the train tressel on Wabamun and crashed and died.
They were idiots of course. The guy who had a beer in a tin boat is not your enemy. It's guys on sea doos and party boys in large ski boats that you should watch out for.
Is it time to put driving lanes on our lakes like they have in California?

the operator of the boat accident I mentioned claimed to have had 4 beer in the day and was operating a 20' fishing /pleasure craft. so you heard a story form your grandma who heard a story abought a a guy. must have been difficult to cope with the loss.

There are nice secluded places away from the rule makers and ball busters to enjoy a beer and fishing, you just have to find them.

I believe you can drink in campgrounds as long as you keep it to your site unless the campground has zero tolerance for alcohol, which quite a few do have now on long weekends.

Hopefully the person would be smart enough to know that a Pepsi can is slightly larger then a beer can and if you cut to bottom out you can slip the beer in and it looks like your drinking a pepsi......but you have to rip the tab off the beer can after you open it.....or else it doesn't fit quite right...........

You might not. But you could stay out of my business unless it is affecting you. I wouldn't hesitate calling in a drunk boater who is putting others at risk but I wouldn't call in a guy in a 12' aluminum enjoying a beer and a sandwich. Actually, better call the cops just in case!

If you can't see on your own how it's different, there is no point in me wasting my typing stamina trying to explain it.
BTW, I wouldn't call in a guy who left a restaurant after having a beer with lunch.

Boat must have cooking facility, and a toilet facility.
Check out the PCOC test and it will give you all the info you need to know and more.
And if you are operating the boat , no beer for you.

Maybe you wouldnt but I will. Even if its a canoe. Check the stats, you might actually save his life. You dont need to drink on the water.

Why is is lawful to drink and drive in a golf cart?
Every year I float down the Red deer river either by canoe or a tube and like every one else floating down the river I'm sucking back beer. No motor, no big deal.

Gotta wonder what kind of example, "Having a couple cold ones" in the boat gives to your kids or other peoples kids.
They watch you having "2 or 3" and when they get older they only have, "5 or 6". etc

Perfect. As for the stats on drunk drownings, thats just natural selection. The weak and stupid should be allowed to perish.
