Thinking about this. It would be nice to have a good fishing pier next to my home so I can sit and have a drink while fishing. Since there's no lake next to my house that isn't going to happen!
No, I don't drink in the boat.

There are a few non-alcoholic beers available. Same taste, but no lost reflexes.

Always time for a cold one when you get back home. I'm with you 100%. Too many boating accidents involving "one too many."
Key words "one too many". I dont see any problem having a cold one if you can do so responsibly .

True. A hypothetical question, "How many people drink responsibly?"

Personally I don't really drink that much so I don't think a beer or two is an issue. I think it's a problem when people are getting drunk on the boat. I don't care for drunks on or off a boat. Sloppy drunk is a bad look and illegal on a boat, car and just in public streets. If you want to party, stay home or go to a friend's home (if they are OK with it.)

Great post! I am new here and I enjoyed reading all the replies from the members!
I have to say I am in the no drinking and fishing camp. To much of a concern with driving the boat and/or vehicle afterwards. Back in the day I have been on charter trips where we did more drinking than would have been advised and learned that it was not worth the issues associated with the drive home. Kind of the same with drinking and anything where driving home afterwards is a consideration. I am almost always the DD because I can wait until I get home for the alcohol enjoyment.

I used to fish almost on the line between Canada and the USA and if you got caught with beer in the boat in Canadian water they don't just give you a fine they haul your boat with you in it till you can appear in court and then the fine. Of course if you didn't have a Canadian license that is another big fine. They have a court like they have in speed trap towns so in a few hours you are gone. A hell of a lot poorer.

Don't know about your state, but
I think the laws vary somewhat
from state to state ! I do know it was illegal in N.H. to have an OPEN beer or alcoholic beverage in the car, and the boat DRIVER/
OPERATOR had to be legally
sober, but not sure of the
legality of open drinks in a boat !
You could legally CARRY beer in your car, but any opened ones
had better be in a trash bag in
the TRUNK, or you'd get nailed
for 'illegal transportation ' !

Ditto, and DOUBLE DITTO ! I have a friend/fishing partner who
really hates snakes; even living
in Arizona where there are over
a dozen species of rattlers, I'd rather deal with snakes than spiders, especially tarantulas, black widows and brown
recluse spiders ! At least the snakes try to warn you off
before they strike - spiders
don't !
