Does anyone really believe the drinking problem on boats or cars for that matter, is meaningfully related to having an open container while the boat is moving?

The problem is driving a boat after they drank too much. Some people sit at the sand bar, anchorage, a party, a dock and drink too much, then they drive the boat home when they shouldn't. Some people go to a restaurant or bar and drink too much then they drive the boat home when they shouldn't.

Go after the real problem, not some side issue that make you feel good.

Everyone knows if the MP put 3 or 4 boats at the mouth of Braun Bay on weekends around dusk, and do the same with the town docks in Meredith and Wolfeboro after last call, this would make a huge dent in the problem.
