I got a river boat this year and there is nothing better than pulling into a nice beach and having a beer. As long as your not drinking in the boat and not over the legal limit while driving the boat I don't think there is much anybody can do? Oh well I guess I will pay the $100 fine or whatever it is if it comes to it.

It's too bad the membership here isn't as militant about liquor on the water, as they are about foreigner's with barbed hooks.
Barbed hooks never KILLED anyone.

Most C.O.'s I know won't bust you for a beer, I have even been told by C.O's thier not going to search you for alcohol unless you appear intoxicated. Keep your one beer low key and enjoy it. Getting drunk on the water is just plan stupid and the law I guess errors on the side of the stupid and the people with no self control. My friend who is a OPP officer in Northern Onatrio told me a story about a guy who left a trail of empty beer cans on the water. He made it really easy to find him. Stupid people are everywhere. If you are being stupid your asking for trouble. Having one beer is not being stupid it is being responsably defient. Just my opinion.

I doubt anyone on here would condone any liquor related activity that would put anyone in danger. People should be more concerned with a poacher out on the water as opposed to a guy having a beer in a boat.

$1000 fine and a dui charge for a beer on the shore? Maybe if I weighed 50 pounds and hadn't eaten for 3 days....

The issue isn't one beer, because it is rarely just one.
I highly doubt when someone heads out they only take 2 beer. One for the captain and one for the mate.
Again, people Die from combining booze and boats every year.
Where do you draw the line?

folks please take heed the man speaks the truth. one beer wont hurt but then neither does drowning. chances are the beer will do you no harm getting rid of it after drinking it just may. the law becomes null when your dead. murphy never sleeps.

People drown every year too. Probably safer if you stopped fishing altogether.

Darwin had it right on some accounts, the best you can hope for is they don't take someone with them.

Do you only tattle on drunk boaters or everyone you see having a beer?

It might be best if we bring back prohibition. Booze and any activity out there can cause problems for people that abuse it. How many of us go for dinner and have a few drinks then drive home? I do it a couple times a week and yes I have been pulled over and had to give a breathalyzer. I know my limits and never had issues or a fine. Sure it would probably be best if I didn't but until they bring in a zero tolerance act I will continue to have a glass of wine or 2 with a meal and have a beer on the shore of the river on a nice sunny day.

prohibition didnt rid the country of booze...it just created a moonshine industry.

much like drinking and driving laws, they protect the public, and the selfish, ignorant A$SH0LE behind the wheel.
How far do you guys have to stretch to find some absurd support for what can only be described as stupidity.
Prohibition?
Firearms?
People drown, stop fishing?
Really?
Pathetic.

Pretty bad when we start to call fishing "potentially lethal". Russian roulette is potentially lethal. Unless you're shark fishing with bare hands and slit your wrist to use yourself as chum, I cannot comprehend how someone would call fishing a potentially lethal activity.

I think he was refering to drinking and operating a boat or drinking and driving home, fishing not so much.

not fishing, boating. I could give a rat's A if you stand on shore with a rod in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other.

we had a saying back home, "too drunk to fish". because all you had to do is prop yourself up against a tree. if you couldn't do that, you were in some trouble.
anyhow, from transport canada (this varies by province):
Alcohol and Boating
Driving Under the Influence
Boating while impaired is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Operators with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood are liable to the following fines:
1st offence : at least $600 fine
2nd offence : at least 14 days of imprisonment
3rd offence : at least 90 days of imprisonment
The maximum sentence may vary depending on provincial statutes.
Consumption of Alcohol
In most provinces:
Alcohol may be consumed on board the pleasure craft only if it meets all of the following conditions:
The vessel has permanent sleeping facilities
The vessel has permanent cooking facilities
The vessel has a permanent toilet
The vessel is anchored or secured alongside a dock
Check with the appropriate provincial authorities (OPP for Ontario, SQ for Quebec, RCMP for all other provinces and territories) for carriage restrictions.
In Alberta, research shows that alcohol or drug consumption was involved in 64% of all boating deaths, 59% of recreational powerboating, and 84% of canoeing deaths.
If you die from boating, it is more than likely that alcohol was a factor in your death, or that of a friend or family member.
