ALCOHOL MYTHS AND FACTS
Myth:
Beer is less intoxicating than other alcoholic
beverages.
Fact:
One 12 oz. can of beer has about the same amount
of alcohol as a 5oz. glass of wine or a shot of liquor.
Myth:
Black coffee, fresh air, and a shower will sober the
effects of alcohol.
Fact:
After consuming alcohol time is the only thing that
will sober you up. Our bodies average burning 1 oz. of
alcohol every hour. If a person is drunk, it will take a person
seven or more hours to sober up.
Myth:
Telling if a person is too drunk to operate a vessel
is easy.
Fact:
Many experienced drinkers have learned to
compensate for the visual effects of alcohol and can
disguise their drunk condition.
Myth:
You can judge if you are fit to operate a boat.
Fact:
Judgement is one of the first elements you lose when
drinking.

responsible for his boat and crew.
