Too many people have the idea that drinking while operating a boat is not a problem, the authorities need to crack down on this, and make the penalty severe.

The penalty for operating a boat while intoxicated are the same as a vehicle but societal mindset is complete different. No one bats an eye about everyone (including driver) to be having a beer on a party barge but would be super pissed about their tour van driver having a beer while sight seeing. It’s more accepted on the water but twice as dangerous.
