Just look at the spelling and you'll know the answer to that.

One of the most basic truths,,, drunk people and sober people do not get along.

One or the other is going to get upset.

agreed your property and he is disrespecting you, but push him in the water when he is drunk pretty dangerous, let him paddle a boat back again dangerous, he risked your speakers you risked his life and as wrong as he was your probably a great guy and if something happend you would be the guy screwed which you do not deserve, cause he put you in the situation

write him off not worth it. kind of like a guy breaks in your house and breaks his leg and you get a law suit.

Is that what you'd do? Keep in mind we run in the same friends circle.

No, I would tell him he is only welcome if he shows up sober and stays sober, because he always gets out of control when he drinks, and I'd tell him in front of this "same circle of friends."

If you don't think he can stay sober, then just tell him he is not welcome on your boat because he is an azz.

So, why isn't he on your other friends' boat instead of yours?

Let him decide if he's gonna be a sober guest, or a lonely drunk.

I disagree with almost all of this post.

Drunk or not the guy was told not to mess with the radio/speakers.

The drunk guy got himself out to the island.

The drunk guy got himself drunk with the alcohol HE brought.

The original poster has no responsibility for what the drunk does to himself.

The original poster did not risk the drunks life. The drunk did that all by himself.

If I meet my co-workers at a bar after work and one of them that I don't really know that well gets drunk, is his drunkenness my responsibility? I think not.

I would have no tolerance for that what so ever. Call him on an off boating day and just tell him straight up. Its your boat. You are out there to have fun. When he is in his drunker stupid state he is annoying and that becomes a non-fun situation because he becomes an ***. Also, like other on here what do you other circle of friends say?

Well, this guy and I have a really good mutual friend. Like I consider this person one of my best friends, and he considers him the same.

So I talked to that person about it and that person said "yea he does stupid **** it's your property, I don't blame ya for not wanting him out there"

Then there's a girl and another guy who were on the boat both times. They are in agreement that he needs to stay off the boat.

As far as risking his life. I thought I was pretty nice to waste an hour of time and gas going 2mph in keeping watch over him while he paddled in.

The way I figured it was that he had a lifevest on, as we went back in there were numerous islands on the way. I stayed as a spotter the whole time, even though the guy made my sunday afternoon on the boat someone stressful.

Just man-up and tell the goofball !!.
You don't want him around or on your boat when he's drunk.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

If he presses the issue more I will. However I think it's already past the line where I'd let him back out anyway. You know the jersey shore people? That's the kind of annoying he is when drunk. When not drunk he's just a LITTLE BIT like that.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

If he asks again, and he probably will, you'd be doing him a favor by just saying "look man I'll be honest with you, your drinking ruins my day on the boat. If you'll come clean I'll take you but I just don't want to deal with the drinking on my boat."

Who knows, maybe you'll end up helping him realize he has a bit of a problem and have a good day with someone you used to get along with anyway.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

This bozo would have been gone after the first incident...I'm not on the water to have a bad time but it sounds like that's what your getting...serious drunks are losers that destroy everything they touch...your better off without him and any of the friends that resent you for not putting up with crap.

There you go with the clowns again.......stop it.......stop it. your are freaking me out man

alot of good suggestions on here. my wife and I like to have a cocktail or two while on the boat, we do not get in an impaired shape but like to enjoy our time with the kids on the boat.

I like the idea of asking the circle of friends, but bottom line it is still your boat, your rules.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

I Hate clowns they scare me
But on the lighter side of the news...............
I used to allow drinking on my boat when we would head out to fish, the CC started coming down HARD on boating and drinking here in California. So now we just Drink water or gatorade and leave the beer at the house, when we get home to wash the boat, then a few beers. But whats the point you ask??
Just tell your freind due to consiquences of drinking and boating you no longer allow alchoal on your boat, he will most likely find this annoying because he wants drink while on board your boat and he will move on to the next guy will let him drink on his boat and run the radio at full volume and blow out his speakers

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

Look there are a lot of issues here.

The first one is you get to decide who goes on your boat, and what happens on your boat. Its not just because its your property, it is because you are responsible for the safety of you, your guests and what happens with your boat. If a guest, won't, or can't, behave in a safe manner, then keep him/her off your boat. No explanation needed.

There is another issue, and its a big one. It sounds like your friend is an alcoholic. I know you said it, but based on your actions it does not sound like you believe it, or you don't understand what is going on. Here's the thing; alcoholics when they drinking care about one thing, and one thing only - the next drink. They will not listen to logic, or reason. They certainly won't listen to your boat safety rules. They also won't stop until they decide to stop. Loss of careers, marriages, friendships, even their own health is not enough until they decide its enough. So as long as he is drinking he is not going to be anyone's best boating companion. All you can do is tell him you don't want him around while he is drinking and hope he decides to attend a meeting and get himself cleaned up.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

The facts are, you have a confined place for gathering of others to enjoy themselves, an inability for you or them to leave if one individual acts up, and repeated problems from one individual, which has been seen by others. It boils down to you having a talk with him. I would say to him that on dry land, in a setting where you and others had a choice, you would enjoy his company to a point. As a friend, you could accept that, and hope he too can accept your point. Secondly, explain to him that others have complained, and you can't force them to accept a risk out on the boat. But once again, they problably wouldn't mind a gathering on land, where if things got too extreme, they would have the option to leave. The point is, he sees you are trying to be a friend. Not a close friend, who would work on his drinking problem, because you said he isn't anything but a friend of a friend. The other point I am making is you will find out if he really cares about you as a friend, when he can no longer go out on your boat. If he doesn't wish to get together, you should have no guilt for setting him straight.

Re: Mr. Annoying Drunk guy doesn't get the hint that I don't want him on my boat anym

Well this is about what you should do Not what I would have done

Anyway, he pissed me off one weekend during a camping trip, waving an airsoft gun around while drunk

This should have been an indicator as to the type of person you are dealing with. Not that having a good time is bad but when you jeapordize the well bieng of others some one needs to step in.

1. I do have a few drinks now and then(sometimes even a bottle of tequila or two)

B. I doubt he would have wanted to be in the confines of a boat with me after an incident like this, air soft or not I don't like having any gun pointed at me and would have met the threat with swift action that would have probably hurt him. I was shot hunting when I was 14 and again in a bar altercation in 89. and I nearly beat the man to death after he shot me.
Thank the drinking gods I was drunk or I would have felt that 9mm go through my arm

Dont write him off yet though for dry land humor. I used to carry a coffee can full of every color Sharpie marker made when my buddies and I went camping and a camera to record the face coloring when someone passed out.

if you push him and he gets hurt you are stumbles into the road and gets killed
