In Maryland, if you get a boating while intoxicated, it counts against your drivers license. So, the laws down there don't shock me. I think it is necessary. I see too many folks way to drunk to be operating boats. Don't get me wrong, I love my booze, but I do the drinking at the dock or when we anchor for the night.
