it does matter if you drive drunk or not I used to do it when I was young bought my 27 sporty when I was 26 years old in 1984. now I don't do it maybe every blue moon ill have a cold beer if its hot on the lake been years. I want to be safe for kids and passengers. have seen guys plastered driving there big boats bouncing off docks. now when I get back 2 dock they taste better 2 me and you have no worry's getting pulled over is time consuming one time took an hour they checked our drivers license for warrants through there systems 5 guys. after being tied up we just started fishing while we waited they were nice about it and just doing there job one officer even made a comment that he sure hoped it was fish blood all over the back of the boat. it was a good perch day. but if they were not there imagine the problems. bottom line they are there to protect the boaters on lake erie from unsafe conditions we need them
