Has anyone considered that the guy was seasick. The conditions were rough that night to say the least. The guy apparently was not conditioned to the roll and motion of a vessel that size in rough conditions.
The couple was attending a Halloween party and had a few drinks in them. Probably not enough to become "sloppy". If he did stagger from drunkenness, how would staff know? Everyone that night, sober or drunk, was staggering from the roll of the vessel. It only makes sense that he drank a few, upset his stomach from motion sickness and did what anybody would do to relieve themselves... go to the edge to vomit. The boat pitched in a way his equilibrium was not ready for and he lost his balance (due to the center of his weight being away from his feet and in his upper torso) and sadly flipped head first over the edge. This is a very sad event in all the lives that experienced the accident.
