Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

The bottom line is this: If you want the girls to get naked, you gotta have a lot of booze.

Won't go out without a 12 pack. Its a precaution for if ya breakdown, and the guy coming to help forgets the cooler.
Ya can run of gas on a boat, but at least ya got beer, and yer on a boat. NOW, run out of beer, and whats the sense of being on a boat?

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

One of the conditions of my employment is zero tolerance for alcohol.I cannot drink anything within 12 hours of getting on the job or my job is in jeopardy.
To me drinking and operating a motor vehicle be it on land in the air or on water is an act of sheer indifference toward my fellow men.
Some people may need a lot of booze to get the girls naked, I never had that problem.......

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

it is illegal to have beer in a boat here... treated just like open liquor in a car. If the police or conservation officer inspect you and find beer in your cooler, it will be a bad day (3 digit ticket for sure). Driving with an open beer would be worse. I think it can be kept/consumed in the boat if it is a cruiser (has sleeping accomodations) and is not underway.

Main thing I don't like about this, is that it leads to lots of littering, since if someone does sneak a beer or two to have while fishing, they usually dump the bottles/cans so they don't have any "evidence" in the boat.

By the way... same for shore fishing. Can't have beer in your cooler. I once took 2 beers in a small cooler (with lunch) to a little and deserted lake in a prov park. After about an hour, the CO comes by and chats. Wants to see cooler, OK... busted. He gave me the choice... dump the beer, or he'll write me up.... 2 beers cost a lot less than the ticket would've... easy choice.

Yikes!!! How time's have changed.

As a kid, I remember a fishing trip to Canada, where after crossing the border, the grownup's first stop was to the "beer" store, for a whole handcart full of cases of brew.

Sadly, this is only a preview of the coming attraction, concering all liberty.

There was a time when adults were required to make adult decisions, one being "knowing when to say when", concerning drinking.

Apparently now someone else needs to make that decision for us. "None-at-all", seem to be the easy choice, at least for those controlling our lives. ;(

Good day.

It is sad indeed. It was, however, not caused by those "controlling" our lives.
It was caused by those unable or unwilling to control their own lives and killing and maiming innocent bystanders in the process.

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

Lake of the Ozarks is about an hour from here. Amazingly this lake in the middle of the country rated as the 3rd most dangerous body of water in the US. That I can remember every death there this past year involved alcohol. Everything from the Scarab coming screaming out of a dock/bar at night hitting another boat to the drunk that walked off a dock.

It is pretty sad, but if you look at most laws they are because someone can't be responsible for themselves or their actions. The rest of us get to pay for it.

Yep, booze will make a lady easy, but how easy is it for the guy to spend child support for the next 18 years? That is what keeps me at home with my wife.

gotta agree with you there... in the past, most provincial campgrounds here were a bit of a free for all with partying people and their stereos making it like one big nightclub.... some campgrounds that were known to be particularly wild were just avoided by families altogether. Now there is no tolerance for noisemakers or rowdy behaviour.... all provincial campgrounds are dry on every long weekend, and at other times, having an open beer outside of your own site will get you ticketed pronto... Despite the strictness, and "lack of liberty", IMHO, the parks are a much better place now than in the rowdy "good old days".

How it is now is because too many people couldn't control themselves in the past.

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

Saw a dad once that had just a couple of beers (he claimed). Coming into dock, he failed to notice his 4 year olds hand over the side of the boat as it scrubbed against the dock. That was a sad day at the dock.

I had a similar experience with a friend who slammed her kid's fingers in the door of my pickup not once but twice! I usually try to hold my tongue when it comes to the way other's handle their children, but this was too much. Once the child was out of ear shot, I chewed the momma's behind big time! Idiot!

Conservation area campgrounds here are dry May 24 weekend and Labour Day weekend.
No alcohol allowed on our boat at all, none of the family allowed to take the wheel of the boat if had anything to drink, if any of the family start to drink inbetween boat trips during the day then their boating day is finished.
Mind you....you should see us when we have moored the boat up for the day and are back at the campsite !!!

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

Rules here are crazy. We have sand dunes that are popular with the off-road crowd. There used to be a lot of drinking and driving, and a lot of accidents.
A few deaths per year--many of them children and most of them alcohol-related. Then they banned alcohol at the dunes. However, the dunes run right up to the edge of the lake, where it's legal to drink. If you bring a boat, you can drink as much as you want while floating in the water, then go right back to driving a vehicle in the sand dunes.

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

The fun in Holland is that the one having the license to sail the boat does not have to be the one actually steering.

You just have to be on the boat so I sail to my favourite spot put the anchor out start drinking and let my fianc?e drive home.

Or if I'm alone don't drink beer or booze

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

Whatever ya`ll decide to do is OK with me. But remember to tare the cans in half befour tossing them in the lake so they will sink faster. Can`t have the emptys laying around in the boat, Its an invitation to a Boating while intoxicated ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

You're a fool! Throwing things in the water really is a bad thing to do. Tore open cans and a foot you do the maths.

And the ticket for being drunk will cost you a whole lot less than the one throwing stuff over board.

Take a garbage bag or bin with you. a few squished cans don't take in that much space.
throw it away when you are at a marina.

keep your lake tidy

Re: Having Drinks on the Lake

Pick up the phone and start calling your local legislators about the laws. If you haven't been drinking you should be allowed to operate yours or anybodies boat. Enough people holler and they will listen.
