A lot of people in Canada are aware of the possible fatal consequences of drinking and driving. However, many people who would never get in the driver’s seat of a car after having a drink or two will actually take a chance and charter a boat even when drunk. Boating and boozing: bad behavior that will cost you not just a possible criminal charge, but it can be worse. Little do they know that operating a boat with alcohol in their bloodstream has the same effect as driving a car while inebriated. According to Transport Canada operating a boat while drinking is illegal and can be charged under Criminal Code. So avoid boating and boozing: bad behaviour that’ll cost you if you want to stay away from possible charges. Feel free to cruise anytime you want, so long as you stay away from alcohol while you are at it. Life is fun, especially if you are doing things the legal way.
