What about house boating??

If you aren't the driver, I know that people do drink on the boat while it is moving.

So is this a special circumstance?

I am just curious, as I will be house boating later this year and a dry boat would really suck.

Diet pop? Is that code for Coors Light (training beer)?

Sure you can have a beer on your 12 ft alluminum boat. Just make sure your parked in your garage at home getting ready for the trip tomorrow. No drinking allowed on a boat.

enjoy your beer friend ..lol and the fine should you get caught..its all good .. i have spent most my life working on the water and every summer a few folk die while drinking and boating including a ex brother-inlaw that got up to leave a pizz and fell over and drowned... was a sad day for the family, so for me i am dead against it. in bc it was the same fine as drinking driving .. but thats just my penny and a half

Sure, they are $187 each or $115 during happy hour (if the CO is happy).

Ask me how I know

Geez, 2 lousy beer for a day or fishing.

Maybe you need to look at the stats on drownings among recreational boaters re. alcohol use...........

Canadian Red Cross shows that in 23% of drownings victims were over the limit, 9% were below legal limit but had been drinking and another 7% were suspected to have been drinking. So, almost 40% of drownings in recreational water-craft had been drinking!!!

drinking and boating is no different than drinking and driving, it leads to more risk taking, reaction times are slower and it is just plain stupid, when you are endangering the lives of others as well as your own.

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.
