There are field sobriety tests that take that into consideration. A rocking boat does not screw up ones ability to recite the alphabet starting at a certain letter for example. Or count backward from 96-69 (i am making that up)... I am sure they are not asking you to walk ten paces, turn and walk back....

while i would agree, my wife with MS cannot balance on one leg, it attacked her eye nerves, so they jump a little, and reciting the alphabet backwards or starting at a letter is hard enough sober on dry land.

i do not condone it, but I can see how easy it would be to beat unless you were fall down drunk blacking out

I honestly think I would have a better shot saying the alphabet backwards if I WAS drunk. I just tried and stumbled through it. Is that really a field sobriety test?

Forget the law--I would never get into a boat with a captain who had 4, even if he was 350

Exactly the way I feel. I am always especially reluctant to take passengers out that have had too much to drink. When my brother-in-law arrives with a case of beer, I'm much happier staying on the beach.

I may be Mr Party Pooper but once a beer hits my lips the boat/seadoo is not leaving the dock with me at the controls. It isn’t worth it.

The kids better get me early in the day if they want to tube/wakeboard, etc....

Beer in the hand = Feet in the sand.
