Intoxicated on the canal or open sea

What is the law of being slightly intoxicated on the waterways or sea?

[JustChillin]

Being a complete idiot and putting your own life and those of others at risk. Criminal, aint't it?

As a passenger - no offence

I believe it is quite tough http://news.bbc.co.uk..._politics/6749253.stm

Depends whether you are passenger or Ship's Captain

[Hatchetfacehelga]

No I meant of been in charge of the boat or dingy.
JustChillin you obviously have never been on a boat with fisherman in greece or spain! The whole crews were drunk and still managed to bag net after net of fish whilst singing good luck songs and sea shanties.

[mrs_overall]

Yes, it is illegal in Greece and Spain for a person in charge of a boat to be drunk

[Hatchetfacehelga]

Obviously flouting the law.
