Safety On Board
BOATING & ALCOHOL
Operating a vessel while
intoxicated became a specifi c
federal offense effective in
1988. The ruling set federal
standards for determining
w h e n a n i n d iv i d u a l i s
intoxicated. If the blood
alcohol content (BAC) is
.10% (.08 in some states) or higher for operators of
recreational vessels being used only for pleasure are subject
to a civil penalty up to $1,000 or criminal penalty up to
$5,000, one year imprisonment or both. In some states the
fi nes and imprisonment may increase signifi cantly.
The effects of alcohol and drugs account for the highest
single cause of marine accidents and deaths. Most deaths in
boating accidents occur when someone falls into the water.
Balance is one of the fi rst things you lose when drinking
alcohol or under the infl uence of drugs. The problem arises
out of not knowing your balance is restricted.
Overall vision is reduced by alcohol especially at night,
along with double or blurred vision. Peripheral vision is
lessened which restricts seeing vessels or objects on the
side. Also, color awareness decreases especially with red
and green which happen to be the colors of boat navigation
lights, buoys, and channel markers.
Alcohol will greatly increase your heat loss so it increases
the effects of hypothermia. Finally, your ability to make
correct judgements in emergency situations is greatly
reduced. Alcohol takes away the brains ability to process
information quickly and delays a persons reaction time.
Don’t drink and dri
ve!
FEDERAL LAWS PROHIBIT OPERATING
A VESSEL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS. THESE LAWS ARE
VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED
BY ALL ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

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 fi t to operate a boat.
Fact: Judgement is one of the fi rst elements you lose
when drinking.
