I would tend to believe that it is NOT truth that you can get BWI after a beer or two, nor is it illegal to blow a .03.
From Lucida Treatment Centers: "Not everyone realizes this, but when you’re drinking while on a boat, you will become impaired more quickly than if you were drinking on land. The effects of sun and heat dehydrate you and leave you feeling drunk with less alcohol. Add to that the rocking motion of the boat, the fatigue that sets in with drinking and heat, and you have a combination that is more dangerous than operating a car while drinking."
