I do get that it happens to normal sober folks, but add some drinks at the helm and disaster ensues. And I'm no saint, I like my liquor.

Jeff, I do understand your initial statement. But running a boat in crowded water or at night is more like flying than driving, so yeah, do you want the guy in the 150 in your pattern to be schitzfaced?
