Super User fishfordollars Posted February 19, 2010 Super User Posted February 19, 2010 Personally i don't drink at all. Have no problem with the ones that do. I did my share while younger. Do you drink while out on the water? Do you allow anyone on board to drink? I have no problem with someone in my boat drinking a beer or two while we are out unless it is not allowed. Back in 1978 a buddy gave me a beer while we were talking side to side out on the water. I ended up pouring half of it out after we split up. That's the last beer I touched while on the water. My wife loves a beer or two or three while we are out. I just don't care to indulge. Jack Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 19, 2010 Super User Posted February 19, 2010 A couple of beers won't hurt anybody but not on the water or a auto. Quote
Sfritr Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I am not one to turn down a frosted beverage usually, however, I never drink while on the water. I also do not drink when playing golf either. For me, as soon as I drink one my golf game goes to heck. Plus, I have been on the water when a storm kicks up and having all senses working can be a life saver Quote
ring fry Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I love my beer. If I'm in the boat, I will not drink. I don't trust the idiots out there whether they are drinking or not. I want all my senses functioning at top level when I'm on the water. Well, as top level as I have, anyway. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 19, 2010 Super User Posted February 19, 2010 I don't usually take beer out with guys that don't drink on the water. On the other hand, I don't go out with those kinda guys very often. A couple of summers ago my partner and I had hangovers and decided not to get any beer the next morning. Man...that was a mistake! 8-) Quote
BassnMan Mike Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 While I dont mind if someone in my boat has a few beers the only thing I drink while on the water is water or Gatorade. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I don't usually take beer out with guys that don'tdrink on the water. On the other hand, I don't go out with those kinda guys very often. A couple of summers ago my partner and I had hangovers and decided not to get any beer the next morning. Man...that was a mistake! 8-) Ditto As long as you keep it to about two per hour everything is cool. Mine usually get hot before they are finished when I'm fishing. Most tournaments in this area do not allow alcohol in the boat during competition. When I 'm not fishing a tournament I generally will have a beer or twelve, but I do not exceed two per hour................Al Quote
bobbyc Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not a drinker, but if i were, two scenarios when i wouldn't drink would be operating a boat or truck/car. Quote
IwillChooseFreeWill Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I will have one or two on shore (but no more unless I am close to the camper), and if the location allows, but never on a boat unless someone else is driving. Most of the lakes and ponds around here are either state park, forest service or military land, none of which allow alcohol on their land. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I never drink on my boat. way to much police activity on my body of water. However, my passengers always drink!!! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 It all depends. If I'm fishing I typically dont drink especially if I'm driving the boat. If I'm just out with a bud and hes driving. Its fair game. Most of the time I dont drink on the water. I dont have anything against it. Just really never do. Quote
TommyBass Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 First of all, I am by no means a big drinker. But, it depends really on what I'm doing. If I go out "boating" in like a speed boat and spend much of the day floating around... then ya, one or two beers arn't bad. But I still never get drunk. Here in IN its just as illegal to drive a boat drunk as it is a car. Fishing, not really. I find if I try to I don't focus very well. Usually I end up focusing too much on fishing and end up with a hot flat beer : ) So I stay away from it usually then. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted February 19, 2010 Super User Posted February 19, 2010 Yes, a lot of water. And a big lunch too. Quote
gatorblazer Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 On a friends pond in a jon boat, sure. On any water where someone might have to drive, no Quote
done Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Never. I have never even had alcohol on my boat at all. I come close enough to falling in without impairing my balance lol. Heck I get so into fishing it is tough enough to me to remember to drink water or gatoraid when I am out all day long. That being said I have been on other folks boats while they engaged, and their boat, their rules, as long as they don't endanger me. On land, i have had my share of beer so I am not going to begrudge those who do so safely on the water. Quote
Brush Hog20 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Barely...I usually fish with the same guys and we will generally toss a sixer in the boat cooler and there is usually still a couple in there after about 8-10 hours of fishing.. Really we just bring it as a matter of principal.. ;D seems wrong to not have a beer or two at least at the ready while fishing even tho not much really gets drank...l ;D After is a WHOLE other story.. ;D Quote
Fishbone Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 No beer on the boat; save it for drinking on the drive home. Quote
NeedAnewScreenName-587943 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 yes, drink and smoke too 8-) you can put almost 36 oz of Woodchuck cider in a Nalgene bottle. It looks like a bottle of pee to most, so usually it is left unbothered by fellow fisherman and john law. BTW, I fish electric only lakes 90% of the time. Most boats go 3 mph. Going 3 mph with a buzz on is a lot safer than going 55 mph with no buzz. All you glitter rocket jockeys are playing with fire with all that kinetic energy. Feel free to lecture and condemn me. It won't change a thing. :-? Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 NEVER, absolutely no beer in my boat at any time. Quote
NeedAnewScreenName-587943 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 oh yeah, forgot to say that if I am taking Ward Cleaver, Mother Teresa or Dexter fishing I leave the cider and cigars at home. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 20, 2010 Super User Posted February 20, 2010 oh yeah, forgot to say that if I am taking Ward Cleaver, Mother Teresa or Dexter fishing I leave the cider and cigars at home. You forgot the Beaver. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 20, 2010 Super User Posted February 20, 2010 I don't drink while on the water, but I don''t mind if my passenger has a couple of beers. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 20, 2010 Super User Posted February 20, 2010 I don't see the point. If you want to drink, why not do it at home or in a bar? Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 20, 2010 Super User Posted February 20, 2010 I don't see the point. If you want to drink, why not do it at home or in a bar? Some people can't control their need for booze. Quote
